TurkServer will make your life easier when running complicated experiments online. Please read the articles in the getting started section to better understand the design of TurkServer and how your experiments may fit in. Please feel free to open issues for bugs you encounter, ask questions about unclear documentation, and fork the project and send in good pull requests to improve the code.

If you need more information about anything, send an e-mail to Andrew Mao.
