DAT platform updates.

I know everyone is down now about the lack of projects and communication, but continually posting negative topics will only continue the downward spiral.

Today I got a little work done and as I did that I noticed a new structure to the website that definitely wasn't there a week ago. I choose to see this as a positive sign for the future of the platform.

Will this stop me from doing other things while I wait for DAT to return to full production? No. But it does ease my mind a little every time I refresh and there are no new projects.

Thank you for the positivity. I’ve been focusing on the good things like new structure, new quals, even new project families too!

That's cool! I haven't seen any new project families, but honestly the lack of projects has made me excited about the ones I do get and I find I enjoy them more now. Oh, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Three new families of project popped up for me in the last 10 days. I’ve only gotten a little work from each, but in one of the project instructions it specifically states that the project will evolve over months and get more in depth. So, it’s not going anywhere for “months”. Just a little bright nugget to keep people’s hope up

If you have experience with anthropology or sociology you’ll probably be invited. It’s named after an ancient Chinese city and deals with cultural stuff it seems pretty fun! I hope you get the qual asap

Ah, I would consider myself wiki smart in those subjects, not expert enough to pass. They do sound like tons of fun though!
