    Hi all! This should be resolved now. You can get the updated TO here at http://turkopticon.differenceengines.com

    Also, you might be interested that we're doing a study over the next few months to look at how Turkopticon users use Turkopticon and how crowdwork could be made better. Participating involves a one hour Skype or Google Hangouts interview and screen sharing as you show us how you do work on Turk. We don't have funding to offer compensation for participating at the moment, but we will use what we learn to improve future crowdworker systems. We're interested in hearing from both newer and more experienced users, and from people in different countries.

    Interested in participating and over 18 years old? Contact me, Lilly (lirani@uci.edu) with "TOSTUDY" in the subject.

    --------The official UC Irvine study information sheet that says the same thing in more legalistic terms:

    Share your perspective on crowdsourcing systems.

    A team of University of California Irvine researchers are conducting a study of crowdsourcing systems and practices. We are interested in learning about how crowdsourcing affects your technology work. Findings will be used to develop published research on crowdsourcing that may inform policy, best practices, and public understanding of crowdsourcing among the general public.

    We will interview you in person, by email, or through an audio chat system – as you prefer. The interview will take approximately one hour. You may choose to remain anonymous or be cited by name in the research. Participating in the research will not bring you any direct, immediate benefit, but also has minimal risks. Participants must be over 18 years old.

    Participants will not receive any financial compensation.
