NASA Wants Your Ideas for Digitizing Rocket Scientist’s Notes
- Tichy 17y agoThe idea for the celebration location is easy: obviously they should celebrate it on the moon.
- rriepe 17y agoThey need a secondary goal. "Getting it out to the public" is incredibly vague. One of these would work: 1) Inspire high school kids to pursue a career in engineering 2) Get younger kids excited about the space program 3) Recording the notes for historical purposes All of these seem to beg different formats and different presentations. I wish they had given more details about their secondary PR goals here... It's NASA, I know they have them.
- arthurk 17y agoThey could use reCaptcha for the text. The results on http://recaptcha.net/digitizing.html http://recaptcha.net/digitizing.html look promising.
- weaksauce 17y agoI think if they took the reCaptcha approach to get the text in a usable manner then used that to catalog and cross link the information. After cataloging the information I would put it into some kind of photo viewing software that handles large sets of pictures well. Microsoft has an interesting product with seadragon that could handle this: http://livelabs.com/seadragon/ http://livelabs.com/seadragon/ Though I think that the software would need to be modified to do text search and hyperlinks in order to be the most useful to the largest number of people.
