RE: Nature Identification Thread #21- Now Paying out Steem Basic Income Memberships to Participants!
It seems like a pretty cool idea- might have some time to take a look at it before the next Nature identification post.
Hmm.. needs special aps etc to run off the website and has some IP transfer which is a bit strange in a tech savy place like SF:
"By submitting Content to iNaturalist for inclusion on the Website, You grant iNaturalist a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting Your observations and journal." - from the terms and conditions of the website...
Not sure that this is as good as putting this on a fully-functioning blockchain (aka here).
Nevertheless, there is room to try such a larger scale project (although @mountainwashere contest cannot be improved on!) somewhere within the steemit world...
As a terms and a conditions, if they are using it solely for the promotion of the observations, that makes sense. It is an educational project, so they need the rights to be able to publish the observations made publicly. What do you see as the problem.
The part I like about it is that you can create a geographical project in one place. I find this extremely educational to understand not just the plants and animals of the area, but to start understand how different elements (such as temperature, weather changes, climate change, etc.) affect them. Plus, it provides reference material that can be used by other groups and organizations.
Fair enough.
Good points all and crowd-sourcing is a good way to share ideas. Sorry for sounding a bit skeptical, happy to look into it more.
i'm also skeptical about projects of listing and mapping to 'help the resource managers' ...
Ok cool. Thats @artofwisdom.
Good to know that I am not alone at being skeptical (aka n = 1). It probably is a well thought out idea that is being run by a good organization, but...
I understand being skeptical, I can be that way as well. :)
Great! If you decide to do it, please let me know. I would love to help any way I can. I have seen whole towns that have created a mapping of their environment. I would love to see a Steemit project take shape.
