Plenty to think about here. I’ve had a look at what options you can use when setting up a project. I want to try and strike a balance between not capturing enough information, and making it too onerous to participate. I particularly like how the projects Found Feathers and Fungimap Australia make use of the observation fields. They both have great participation rates.
So perhaps I could set up a Traditional project with
-
Must be in taxon Lepidoptera
-
(Optional) observation field Similar observation set
And then in the project ‘About’ section give a guide on using Similar observation set to link observations. Some users will prefer to continue using tags.
I think it would also be best if all the observations in the set were added to the project rather than just one, to capture all that data in one place.
Anyway, I’ll think a bit more about it and definitely ask @suncana if she has any advice!
