23. How to measure project success? • Was it Crowd sourcing? • To increase the level of participation, and build a public platform where to share an improve ideas for District No. 8 definitely is a crowd sourcing strategy. However, the lack of participation off-line/on-line and the low traffic on the site, make the platform not work as effectively in collectively thinking and improving the ideas. • Did we meet PBNYC goals? • The goal was to approach people that are unaware of PBNYC but care about their community and would be interested in getting involved in a democratic exercise such as PBNYC. To speak a language were those unaware of the meaning of PBNYC could get excited about the initiative. • Did we learn?

24. Lessons Learned • 1.  Crowd sourcing is about maximizing participation and number of participants - not just technology. • 2. The message PBNYC is not being heard or understood, so an outreach initiative that speaks a different language is needed to attract those that don´t usually participate in community. • 3.  The jump from off-line to on-line, specially in low-income communities be very difficult to trigger, specially if cost is associated with participation as in texting methods. • 4. 2 messages (Phone + website) may give mixed messages, focus on one call to action. • 5. Seek to communicate the call to action in the same way as the action requested.

25. Future scenario • -Work with local NGO for outreach with local public schools were internet access is provided to include their input. • - Create a focused campaign on electronic media to increase participation. • Call to action through PBNYC’s affiliate’s social media accounts (FB + TW) • Work with Community voices heard to implement a shout-out to their phone number list through their mass-texting service inviting to participate on our project. • Local Google Ads campaign to increase traffic for the website and promote interaction with the ideas.
