Hi there,

I do note we are involved in developing a crowdsourcing (for good)
platform: http://crowdcrafting.org/. The focus of CrowdCrafting is to make
it super-simple to create crowdsourcing apps for both geeks *and*
non-geeks. An example geocoding / geolocation app can be found here:
http://crowdcrafting.org/app/urbanpark/

Regards,

Rufus
