Downsides and compromises
Only versatile with limits
Some aspects are specific to Australian needs and the locale
If we don’t fork the code we are restricted in what we develop
If we do fork the code we can’t benefit from joint development

Positives and negatives of Crowdsourcing
● Higher visibility for our collections● Better understanding of the scientific role
of the garden● The public feel they have a stake in our
collections● Cost per specimen decreases the more it
is used● Adaptable for different kinds of projects
● Needs to be constantly fed with projects● Forums and queries need to be managed
quickly and respectfully● Some projects may be too difficult for
untrained volunteers● Constant promotion is required● Requires institutional wide support
