setiQuest is a project of the SETI Institute aimed to improve the search for extra terrestrial intelligence by opening the source code of the software used on the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) to the public for improvement and expansion.[1] setiQuest is open to anyone interested in participating.
setiQuest is split into four subprojects:
- Data/APIs to produce attainable raw data from the ATA for the public.
- Algorithms for the creation of new or faster Algorithms for detection.
- Software for all around improvement to Open SonATA
- Citizen Scientist for those who do not wish to be code developers but would still like to participate in setiQuest. This will become a very important position.
Jill Tarter's TED Prize
Jill Tarter was one of three recipients of the 2009 TED prize. The TED prize targets outstanding individuals and tries to grant them "one wish to change the world". Tarter's wish:
“I wish that you would empower Earthlings everywhere to become active participants in the ultimate search for cosmic company.”[2]
It is the implementation of this wish which created setiQuest.

Algorithm Development
Algorithms used on the ATA currently only search for continuous wave signals (that is signals that appear at one frequency as a single tone) or pulsed signals.[3] The hope is that developers on setiQuest will be able to expand the search to other waveforms as well.
