It'd be an interesting way to fund the project, actually: accept donations that go into an MTurk pool, or just provide the editing UI and instructions like Andy's below to anyone who wants to see a particular set of roads fixed up. Sometimes it's just as fast to fix a road as it is to figure out that a road needs fixing, which is a challenge.<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>-mike.<br><div><br><div><div>On Sep 22, 2008, at 6:37 PM, Ian Dees wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">I've seen a couple articles [1] online about how easy it is to use Mechanical Turk to have people do simple tasks and pay them in small increments.
