Project Detail

Description

This project relies on using the API for Mechanical Turk from Amazon.

You can read about it here if you aren't familiar:

They seem to have some tools for java, net, ruby and perl. We usually program in php. However, perl or ruby could be utilized if there was a speed/resource/ or other significant advantage to doing so.

The project will involve creating interfacing with a mySQL db, grabbing some data that is then sent to create a HIT on the MTurk system.

Once the HIT is completed the data needs to be put through a few tests.

The output of those tests is then taken and a series of new HITs is created. Once completed the data is grabbed from MTurk and pushed to a mySQL db.

This should be a fairly simple project. Especially if you are familiar with AWS and the MTurk API.

Please big and tell me your availability. As well as any relevant experience. Also make sure to peruse the docs above and state what programming language you would utilize for this project. We want to start this project asap.
