What, if any, are the requirements to be a project admin for CNC or GSB? These are often megaprojects where we ‘expect’ the admins to help with quality control. Not Wild. Out of range. Joke ID LOL. A nameless place, whose CNC25 project was Suspended, will be in GSB25. One GSB admin has not been ac…

The problem is that it’s going to get to the point (if it hasn’t already in places) where there’s no point in getting more observers started because they’ll just get discouraged by the slow rate of identification and vanish again. Building more slowly with a focus (somehow) on building the base of i…

It’s not just the new observers who will get frustrated when the imbalance between volume of observations and skilled IDing expertise becomes too great – it affects everyone: experienced observers, overwhelmed IDers, etc. I won’t get into questions of development priorities, onboarding, long-reques…

I wonder if any of the global City Nature Challenge project admins are active on the forum? The only one I can find is @lhiggins . The iNat usernames for the other admins are olivia_v, cielramon, amyjaecker-jones and songdog-st. Equally, I don’t see that gsbadmin has a forum account. I wonder also w…

[image] DianaStuder: We need 50 verifiable obs to make a project. Why is that not also a barrier to admins of megaprojects? To clarify, you only need 50 verifiable observations to make a traditional project. This is not a requirement for making collection or umbrella projects, which is what t…

That is why I said - sort of at least. But a bigger project needs MORE competent admin, not less.

[image] rupertclayton: I wonder also whether the CNC or Great Southern Bioblitz organizers would consider a dialogue with iNat identifiers about how to improve their overall initiatives? Yes, maybe a monthly Zoom meeting where leaders of big bioblitzes and top identifiers touch base and discu…

[image] Identifications taking longer? we’ve discussed it witih the CNC team and want to make both organization changes and technical change (eg I’d love for any observation flagged as copyright infringement to not be included in a collection project, or maybe one voted as date inaccurate to not …

I don’t do annotations, but 500 observations and 1250 identifications still seems low. It’s easy to just “Agree” with RG mallards for an hour to get 2K identifications or so, and take 500 photos of each white clover flower in a backyard. Perhaps something like user has been on Inat for more than 1 …

My (thumbsuck) ratio was 2.5 But if you at least start with your own ID, someone (sorry, perhaps it was pisum? - I should have bookmarked that answer!) worked out the actual ratio on obs is 1.25 The ‘and a bit’ allowing for obs which need discussion beyond 2 agree. I would like megaproject admins t…

I would really like to admin a CNC project for Long Island, NY. How would I request to make a new area? Late April is when I start to really pick up the Inat pace.
