Hi Len and others who might be interested in citizen science:
We have put together a web site to provide exactly the kind of advice
you are requesting. It is based on a NSF-sponsored conference on
citizen science held last year: www.citizenscience.org, and we add to
it continually.
Hope it helps!

Hi,
We're hoping to work with volunteers to help us assess and identify
algal growth in local lakes. Our project is currently very fuzzy and
is being considered because citizens are concerned about the effects
that certain algal blooms can have upon children and pets. Currently
our efforts have been limited to a handful of informational
workshops, but it seems like we could do so much more! I'm hoping
that some of you that have experience with such projects might be
willing to share some words of wisdom or point me in a direction
where I might learn more about project structure, reasonable outcomes
or help in identifying potential weaknesses of a citizen science
project.
Thanks,
- Len
