Hello Everyone,
This is PG, I work for the World Food Programme, the humanitarian agency. (
wfp.org), I work on the web there and, among other things, manage
Freerice.com, you might have heard of it. It's an ad-supported quizz game
where you get 10 grains of rice for each right answer. The game is played by
1 million people / month and has raised enough rice to feed over 4 million
kids (rice earned by player was recently distributed in Haiti schools:
http://freerice.com/content-blog-post/video-haiti-love). Lots of parents,
teachers, kids use to it to learn and feed people.
Long story short. I really would like to expand the number of subjects one
can play on freerice. Right now the ones we have have been there for a while
and having new questions will delight existing players, attract new ones,
raise more rice, feed more people!
I am thinking that dbpedia could be a terrific source of content. Each fact
is essentially an answer to a question and the structured format should make
it a breeze to import. Would anyone on this list be interested in working
with me and my team on this? We have very little experience in dbpedia /
semantics and would greatly appreciate some help! It will be a fun and very
rewarding project.
Thx
pg
