As some of you know, we started the project Interlinking Pictura some time ago. We also published an article about this as Bridging citizen science and open educational resources at OpenSym 2018 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1145/3233391.3233539).

Actually, in many open source projects there is only one person doing most of […]
