  1. Seven years into my study of Australian colonial artist S T Gill, I've been getting more frequent enquiries about works for sale. I'd responded up till now but now felt I needed to set a better boundary.

    I'm a retired systems designer. My motivation for the Gill project is to contribute to knowledge commons and the public good – hence the near exclusive focus on works held by public collecting institutions. This keeps me busy enough. (Web site now updated to that effect.)

    As it's the first day of the month, here's Gill's "August": coombe.id.au/S_T_Gill/S_T_Gill

  3. Really enjoyed 'Creating user profiles based on citizen scientists' engagement patterns' presented by
    Coen Van Galen and written with Thunnis van Oort, Montserrat Prats López, Ganzevoort Wessel, Rick Mourits. Loved their thoughtful attention to the language used to describe profiles of volunteer behaviour

    It's reminded me that I've shared 'Summary results from a survey of contributors to Living with Machines Zooniverse crowdsourcing projects' that includes questions on volunteers using (or not) the project forum bl.iro.bl.uk/concern/datasets/
