We are developing a web framework for community-science projects with the Vista Variables in the Via Lactea Survey with applications that includes: Identification and Classification of candidate galaxiesand transients within them; Classification of lightcurves; Monitoring of the galactic centre; Monitoring of some solar system objects. The first phase of this project involves the eyeball detection/ classification of galaxies and the monitoring of supernovae and is being developed in python as part of Juan Bautista Cabral?s PhD thesis
