Citizen Sort
This is a site that allows you to play a few different games to help out with there projects. The site quotes “As you play, you’ll help classify plants, animals, and insects, and you’ll produce valuable scientific data to aid scientists in their work.”
Pros: The games are more for children but are at least some what interesting and it is a different concept then some citizen science projects. The website is fairly easy to navigate and most of the information you need is readily on hand.
Cons: The site takes a longtime to register, and it requires you to confirm your enrollment via e-mail.

Love the game idea, they look more sophicisticated then some other site games. Agree it's more kid-centered but definitely holds appeal for adults in the site design. Also agree that registration could be optional, or happen at the end of the game. I like the Citizen sort logo- something we could think about on Ripple
