Crowdsourcing is becoming more and more common in the digital humanities. Here is a sampling of projects which currently include crowdsourcing features:

• wardepartmentpapers.org
• diyhistory.lib.uiowa.edu/
• www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/
• www.pepysdiary.com/
• www.ucl.ac.uk/Bentham-Project
• www.archives.gov/citizen-archivist/
• menus.nypl.org/
• www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/tag_game/start.php
• www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/freeze_tag/start.php
• swem.wm.edu/news/fights-rights/transcription-project
• www.medici.org/

I would be interested in a discussion of how crowdsourcing can be used in digital humanities projects. Topics of discussion could include:

• How to  implement crowdsourcing
• Successes / Failures
• Strengths / Weaknesses
• Issues / Barriers
