The Daily Crowdsource is proposing an official taxonomy for crowdsourcing to adopt. This is an important step in developing the field of crowdsourcing. In order to develop best practices, common ways of handling common problems, and a unified way of presenting the group to the public, we need a standard set of categories. This document is an important step in that direction.
