Hey folks, just letting you know I reached out to the creator of https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/penang-intersecondary-school-city-nature-challenge-2019 and asked them to tell their participants to refrain from making observations of food and such. So no need to reach out to them yourself. How…

I feel like a lot of the points raised here have already been raised multiple times in the Google Group in the past. I’m not sure how helpful it is to bring the old threads back up, but I’m also not sure how productive it is to rant again and again about the same issues. Here are some threads I fou…

I think perhaps the best move on this new forum is to find a feature request that matches what you think we need, or create a new one, write up your concerns and vote for them. There’s no other way to get things over from the old google group and it seems like this forum is easier for admins to see …

Oh, I have no idea what staff is planning.

I’ll take your word for that, but there’s also the flip side of the puzzle to consider–how do you successfully crowdsource and maintain distributions for every taxon on earth that people can observe in the field? Not that the current atlas system is the last word in representing range data, but that…

this comment on the Penang project page: Comments [Thumb] @lingeshwarry what a nightmare, as useful and needed for iNaturalist community as two broken legs! I wished you got the meaning why, still won’t try to explain further. Posted by erwin_pteridophilos about 11 hours ago I have messaged him …

[image] saturnring: I think the system is working as designed, but is producing results that are considered unsatisfactory I agree. When we all joined we were one person learning the ropes, and there were dozens of helpers to guide us. This is 1400 joining, and still only the dozens of helper…

The problem is 95% or more of these folks will never open the app again once the Nature Challenge is over. Just look at how many observations came in from Malaysia today after it was over.
