[okfn-discuss] proposal for a wiki-map based platform to create location-based open data

Mon Mar 4 16:12:20 UTC 2013

Dear All
    The core diffrent here , is that we are trying to build a ( crowd sourcing tool ) 
    not a map .
    when we say tool , it's expected to see in the Interface genral button ( submit report , 
    edit, locate,...) 
    that could be used easily by any one , it's like crowdmap.com platform , but 
    we introduced the concpet of the wiki to the content of the report being shared 

     I think it will be useful for creating an updated  open knoweldge content 

     what do you think ?

Hi Mohammed,

Sounds like a good idea. Is there anything fundamentally different in this concept than Open Street Map? Sounds like it may be more efficient to merge your efforts with OSM. It is pretty succesful already,
