Django framework for crowdsourcing complex tasks using MTurk

crowdforge's Issues

syncdb creates boris account

running syncdb creates a database that contains a boris account, and NOT the account name and password specified.

got around this by modifying the fixture file, and manually setting the password in a REPL session.

Problem with creating hits

Hi, I am working now on the survey paper about crowdsourcing tools/platforms supporting execution of complex tasks. I plan to put the TurKit inside.

I have followed the instructions:
2. Add a new Problem instance. Give it a name and these parameters

• flow: SimpleFlow,
• partition: create article
• map: collect a fact
• reduce: write a paragraph
  1. Run ./manage.py poll manually, and a HIT should be created (check
     the MTurk server)
     Here is what I have:

(crowdforge)Pavels-MacBook-Pro-4:CrowdForge pavelk$ ./manage.py poll

Initially I used the boto version suggested in the instruction - but then i had https error (i think that version sent requests via http, rather than the current AWS requires to have https only). So I decided to upgrade to the final version of the Boto.
