Policy Roadmap on Research infrastructures for citizen science

excerpt from: What are the Policy Challenges for the Development of Research Infrastructures for Citizen Science in Europe?

[...] * Promote the development or adoption of standards and good practices on the development of digital solutions for CS. Incentivize the development of guidelines for the development of digital solutions for CS, such as accessibility guidelines. Encourage innovation in the development of digital solutions for CS, such as new business models. Encourage the development of digital solutions for CS that are interoperable between them and with existing portals to streamline data workflows

Here we can expand a bit and discuss for example the importance of portals such as Zooniverse (>1,000,000 users, already existing online facilities etc) but also their limitations (difficulty to interface for visually impaired citizens or to produce tasks beyond classifications).
