PyBossa is an open source platform for crowd-sourcing online (volunteer)
assistance to perform tasks that require human cognition, knowledge or
intelligence (e.g. image classification, transcription, information location
etc).
PyBossa was inspired by the [BOSSA](http://bossa.berkeley.edu/) crowdsourcing engine but is written in
python (hence the name!). It can be used for any distributed tasks project
but was initially developed to help scientists and other researchers
crowd-source human problem-solving skills!
# See it in Action
PyBossa powers [Crowdcrafting.org](http://crowdcrafting.org/) and [MicroPast](http://crowdsourced.micropasts.org/) a joint project by British Museum and University College of London.
# Installing and Upgrading
**Important: if you are updating a server, please, be sure to check the
Database Migration scripts, as new changes could introduce new tables,
columns, etc, in the DB model. See the [Updating Section](http://docs.pybossa.com/en/latest/install.html#updating-pybossa) from the
documentation**
