Announcing SETI Quest
SETI Quest — a place to build a network of committed Earthlings who want to help in the hunt for extraterrestrial life — is the result of Jill Tarter’s 2009 TED Prize wish.
How can you help? From the site:
If you are good at writing efficient code and like to participate in open source projects — we need you. If you are knowledgeable about digital signal processing and pulling signals out of noise — we need you. If you are eager to use your eyes, ears, and mind to help us find anomalies in the data streaming from the Allen Telescope Array — we need you. We need your help to manipulate and explore the real-time data from the telescope, and to create the environments that will allow global participation by Earthlings of all ages.
Visit the site now to sign up for project updates and learn how you can be a part of the search for intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.
What about SETI@home? The worlds largest volunteer computing project that has had millions of volunteers over the last 10 years searching for ET signals?
Is SETI Quest trying to reinvent the wheel?
I would have thought that because so little of the worlds resources and money goes toward SETI, you guys could work together in the spirit of humanity and the spirit of the identical SETI searches you guys are both independently carrying out.
Someone needs to swallow their pride and start working together for the common good.
