So, what's the point? I'm genuinely asking. Is that dataset interesting by itself or is it the crowdsourcing that is studied? I got this impression from a message I got when the page finally loaded, just before it crashed with an out of memory error, it was saying something like "you are free to edit, your edit actions are recorded".

Ended up with a 502 bad gateway. As a part time adjunct, I'm looking forward to being able to see this.

Works for me (Sun Aug 28 1:52 Eastern US). Looks like a spreadsheet with names, universities, where they got their PhD, .. , up to photo url.

This is neat. Is the data exploration part something that you&#x27;ve built or off-the-shelf?
