Postcard transcription from the British Museum collection

An application for transcription of postcards.

This application has four files:

• template.html: the view for every task and deal with the data of the answers.
• tutorial.html: a simple tutorial for the volunteers.
• project.json: the setup metadata (make sure name and short name are unique, or create will fail.)
• long_description.md: the long description for the app.

Creating the application

You need to use the PBS command line interface for creating and updating the project.

• Create an account in PyBossa
• Copy from your account profile your API-KEY
• Navigate to your home directory and create a file called .pybossa.cfg
• Within this file add following lines:

   [default]
   server: http://crowdsourced.micropasts.org
   apikey: API-KEY

• Now clone the code to your server and change directory into the folder:

   $ git clone https://github.com/MicroPasts/montpelierVirginia.git applicationName
   $ cd applicationName

• Now run:

   $ pbs create_project

• This should have created the project.
• If the long description has not appeared, then run the update project command as shown below
