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.
