Planning:

We will have the following goals for the fourth season of Nights & Weekends:

  1. Double the number of daily active users we have
  2. Quadruple the number of weekly active users we have
  3. Graduate successfully from the program (and hopefully come back for S5!)
  4. Be in a position where we can begin implementing a revenue strategy, or failing that, a technical partnership with previous collaborators
  5. Public-facing reports and discussion areas about user contributions
  6. Spaceships! Spaceships!

In terms of technical goals…

  1. Be at a stage where at least part the information being provided by our users is actually useful to specific groups of academics/scientists. For example, most of the KOIs being observed by our users will already have had a significant amount of observation, so the usefulness of our users’ classifications is limited. We need to determine collections that are most data-poor at the moment that we can break into.
  2. As a contingency, we need to map out a pathway for the next minigame component, which will ideally piggyback off a Zooniverse project that is based around particular planet candidates as decided upon by our users.
  3. Ownership, inventory & currency/rewards to be fully implemented

Incomplete goals from previous sprint:

  1. Onboarding UI
    1. Credit/reward system in-journal
  2. Reputation totals
