Hi folks – I had sent around an email about a month ago about a project at RPA (www.rpa.org) to map the historic wetlands of the New York metropolitan region from the 1830’s - 1850’s, as part of our research on climate adaptation. (See email chain below for details).
The project has started to take off. We have had a great response from the community so far – and have partnered with Steven Johnson at TeachOSM and others to shepherd this mapping effort. Through this project, we hope to build out some of the infrastructure that would help the OHM community continue to grow. For this project, we will need a Tasking Manager that is connected to OHM. We could build off the TeachOSM TM by overriding the default iD link for each job – or set up an entirely separate TM for OHM. I think the latter may be a better option. Is there other infrastructure OHM needs to move forward that could fit in the scope of this project? (I have a modest amount of funding that I could use to defray some of the cost of development time. Can anyone on this list point me in the direction of someone who would be willing to get an OHM-connected TM up and running?) I look forward to hearing any comments, questions, ideas, suggestions from you about this project as it moves forward – and to gauge your interest in the project as a whole. If you would like to be involved in this project, please feel free to contact either myself ([email protected]) or Steven ([email protected]). Thanks!
