Research and engineering ideas for Mechanical Tsar.
/todo/

Here are some research project ideas, engineering ideas for new participants, and areas where domain experts from other fields might add a lot of value by bringing their perspective into the Mechanical Tsar discussion.

  • Pricing Algorithms

    • Microtasks often involve micropayments. Currently, Mechanical Tsar lacks the ability to estimate optimal task degree and price.

  • More Processors

    • Mechanical Tsar offers a convenient API for implementing worker rankers, task allocators and answer aggregators. The more processors we have, the more flexible we are.

  • Groovy Testing

    • Rewrite the unit tests in Groovy for making them shorter and more readable.

  • Switch to basepom

    • Our POM seems to be too redundant, so it might be reasonable to use the basepom minimal or foundation settings as the parent POM.

  • No JitPack

    • JitPack is a great repository for hosting JVM libraries, however we need only a couple of modules not present in Maven Central: Get Another Label and SQUARE.

Interested? Create a thread on NLPub Q&A and we will do our best to assist you. Comments and additions to this list are always welcome. Some of the above mentioned features might be planned in the roadmap.
