TL;DR: PingPong++ as discussed by the authors is an augmented ping pong table that applies Do-It-Youself (DIY) and community contribution principles to the world of physical sports and play, and includes an API for creating new visualizations, easily recreateable hardware, an end-user interface for those without programming experience, and a crowd data API for replaying and remixing past games.

TL;DR: Drawing inspiration from historical worker guilds is drawn to design and implement crowd guilds: centralized groups of crowd workers who collectively certify each other's quality through double-blind peer assessment.

TL;DR: In this article, a micro-internship platform that connects crowd interns with crowd mentors is proposed. But it does not address the issue that many workers cannot invest the time and sacrifice the earnings required to learn a new skill, and a lack of experience makes it difficult to get job offers even if they do.

TL;DR: Meta: a language extension for Python that allows programmers to share functions and track how they are used by a crowd of other programmers is introduced, finding that professional programmers are able to use Meta for complex tasks, and that Meta is able to find 44 optimizations and 5 bug fixes across the crowd.

TL;DR: Empath is a tool that can generate and validate new lexical categories on demand from a small set of seed terms (like “bleed” and “punch” to generate the category violence) and is highly correlated with similar categories in LIWC.
