]]> Comment on Defining the purpose of our project by Greta Byrum http://blog.powercuts.in/?p=9#comment-6 Greta Byrum Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:06:03 +0000 http://blog.powercuts.in/?p=9#comment-6 Ajay, I think this is well-said and I really like that you "crowdsourced" the project purpose just like you did the data. I also like the core components you list here and feel like they could be used as one input for a set of principles to be shared among a lot of relevant citizen-reporting/data-gathering projects worldwide. Setting up a framework for sharing best principles and strategies is a long term goal of mine and <a href="http://georgiabullen.com" rel="nofollow">Georgia</a>'s. I think you could say more perhaps about the importance of the geographic component of this work for identifying and analyzing patterns. Also, I think for this project (and a lot of other crowdsourcing projects) there's an open question about how best to leverage and represent the data for the purpose of advocacy. We're thinking hard about this and I know you are too. Anyhow, great food for thought, thanks! - Greta Ajay, I think this is well-said and I really like that you “crowdsourced” the project purpose just like you did the data.
