Here is how I would have liked to read the instructions:
How to enter: (put this at the top of the page where work is done.)
" Text field has the same orientation as the image, therefore start by looking at the top left of the image and enter the data line-wise from left to right. Enter a bit by typing "1" for a dotted spotted and "0" for a blank spot. If you are not 100% sure, type "H" instead of "1" or "L" instead of "0". If you have no clue, type "?". The two 8-bit fields per line are to be separated by a space character. After the first 8 lines, insert an empty line or type "GUTTER". Do this only once per image. " I think that the example with the colored circles is totally misleading, just show a sample image + corresponding text field and put the png right on the page instead of making users click.
At the bottom of the page, below Save: Put a note what will happen next: namely that your entry and name will likely disappear and be replaced by a new todo. Mention that at the end of the project, credit will be given - this is what people are interested in.
Edit: Also put a note on the top of the "working on" page that says: "If you are serious about this, enter your name and save as WIP now."
