Gamification/Roadmap

#gamification on Slack

Problem

We have a large problem: it's easier to snap pictures than to turn that into text. We thus have a large backlog of products that are not complete. We aim to use clever OCR and techniques, but also Gamification to stay on top.

Improve missions
- Idea: Replacing mission names in profile by little badges (60x60 px or so), hovering the cursor on it will display the title of the mission and clicking on it will redirect on the mission page. Not only it will be prettier, but also it will reduce page height.

- Add game center support to the Open Food Facts app :https://github.com/leecrossley/cordova-plugin-game-center

Ingress-like game
- A bit like the Ingress notifications: even when you don't do something, you get notified of others doing things to your positions
- "Oh no! Be careful @vince, @tacite just added 50 new sandwiches and is catching up with you fast!"

Google Image Labeler and Recaptcha are good examples on how to crowdsource that.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Image_Labeler: You basically have players compete to label an image. If they agree on keywords, then the keyword is assumed true and added to the image.
