@ -33,6 +33,22 @@ I knew that `Mathieu`_ and some folks at `Makina Corpus`_ would be interested
in this, so I started a discussion with him on IRC and we refined the details
of the project and its objectives.
Imagine the following:
1. For a mapping party, we choose a specific topic to map and design the form
(list of fields (i.e. tags) to be filled + description + type of the
information)
2. In situ, users fill the form fields with what they see. Geo fields can be
prepopulated using device geolocation
3. At the end of the day, we can see a map with all user contributions using
this particular form.
4. A script can import the resulting dataset and publish/merge with Open Street
Map
Example uses for this include recycling spots, accessible spots (wheelchairs,
etc.), map advertisement boards (most cities do not track them!)…
