Hello, Sunspotter!

• by DZM admin

  Hello, Zooites of Sunspotter!

  My name is Darren--DZM here on Talk--and I've just joined the Zooniverse team. I'm working on a few projects, first and foremost working on an overhaul of the Talk system. In particular, I’m interested in working to build a unified Zooniverse Talk within which individual project forums are nested.

  If you have any additional ideas for how Talk can be improved, I’d love to know! I’ll also be around these boards as often as possible, looking for any other ways in which I can help out, so I’m always interested in hearing from you all.

  I don’t have any sort of astronomy background, but I’m hoping to learn from everyone here. ! I’ll be around these boards as often as possible, looking for any other ways in which I can help out, so I’m always interested in hearing from you--questions, concerns, ideas, anything.

  Hope to do some science together; see you all around!

  DZM

  Testing.

  You do get around these boards; I respect that! 😃 Hopefully under the new board design, it'll be a bit easier for you!

  If anyone would like to know a bit more about me and my role, there's a new Zooniverse blog post up from Chris Lintott introducing me.

  Feel free to check it out, and I'm happy to answer any additional questions that you might have! 😃

  Welcome @DZM !!!

  Really nice idea of nesting the talks from different projects. I would say the only difficulty I've had so far is to mention people which user name is separated by spaces. But the rest seems fine for me. Though probably I'm not discussing in many projects like many other people.

  Ooh, that's a new one! How would you mention people with spaces in their user names? (We really shouldn't allow people to have spaces in their user names!)

  Good call-out! Thank you!

  Brought Sunspotter around the Adler today while people were waiting for the partial solar eclipse. It was a hit! 😃

  Hi, is there anyone interested in an alternative, realistic, mechanism on what are sunspots and how do they form and evolve?
  It's based on freely available imagery and magnetic data.
