5.5.1 Zikhuthaze abahlanganyeli

Inselele enkulu ekwakheni ukubambisana okukhulu kwesayensi kufana nenkinga yesayensi enencazelo eqenjini labantu abazimisele futhi abakwazi ukuxazulula leyo nkinga. Ngezinye izikhathi, inkinga ifika kuqala, njengaseGalaxy Zoo: inikezwe umsebenzi wokuhlukanisa izinkanyezi, abacwaningi bathole abantu abangasiza. Nokho, ngezinye izikhathi, abantu bangakwazi ukuza kuqala futhi inkinga ingafika yesibili. Isibonelo, i-eBird izama ukuhlanganisa "umsebenzi" owenziwa abantu kakade ukusiza ucwaningo lwesayensi.

Indlela elula yokugqugquzela abahlanganyeli imali. Isibonelo, noma yimuphi umcwaningi odala uhlelo lokuqamba komuntu emakethe yemisebenzi ye-microtask (isib. I-Amazon Mechanical Turk) izogqugquzela abahlanganyeli ngemali. Isisusa sezimali singanele ngokwanele izinkinga ezithile zokubalwa komuntu, kodwa eziningi zezibonelo zokubambisana okukhulu kule sahluko azisebenzisanga imali ukugqugquzela iqhaza (i-Galaxy Zoo, i-Foldit, i-Peer-to-Patent, iBird, ne-PhotoCity). Esikhundleni salokho, izinhlelo eziningi eziyinkimbinkimbi zithembele ekuhlanganisweni kokubaluleka komuntu siqu kanye nenani elihlangene. Okungenani, ukubaluleka komuntu siqu kuvela ezintweni ezifana nokuzijabulisa nokuncintisana (i-Foldit ne-PhotoCity), futhi inani lokuhlanganyela lingatholakala ngokukwazi ukuthi umnikelo wakho usiza okuhle kakhulu (iFoldit, Galaxy Zoo, eBird, ne-Peer-to-Patent) (ithebula 5.4 ). Uma wakha iphrojekthi yakho, kufanele ucabange ukuthi yini ezoshukumisela abantu ukuba bahlanganyele kanye nezindaba eziphathelene nokuziphatha eziphakanyiswe yizo zinsusa (ngaphezulu kokuziphatha ngokuzayo kulesi sigaba).
