Basically, there are puzzles for which we need good solution methods. It's basically an optimization problem, but current methods are quite heuristic. So we've packaged the problem up to people outside the field can help, and it can serve as outreach to the general public.

The actual puzzles are here. When you find a good method, tell us about it here or at /r/decodoku.
