nicking an idea from a friend on IRC: you should set this up as a service for like $5 to crowdsource kerning for logos

  A related idea is the Distributed Proofreaders, a website that crowdsources proofreading of OCR'd public domain books. Unfortunately, proofreading is not very "gamifiable". http://www.pgdp.net/c/ http://www.pgdp.net/c/

  Ah, that's quite clever! Upload as svg and let people kern the letters. Right now I'm using it to get people interested in my upcoming project [Method of Action](http://method.ac/ http://method.ac/), an online course on design for programmers.

    I'll sign up if it goes over concepts that will help me design better!

      Yes, it's not about the how, it's about the why. Here is a bit of more perspective: http://method.ac/blog/design/programmers-designers.html http://method.ac/blog/design/programmers-designers.html

  I like it. Very much like Luis von Ahn's "human computation" projects (reCAPTCHA, etc)
