Oh yeah. I came across Pybossa the other day for some other reason (and 
http://crowdcrafting.org which I guess is a site deploying it in various ways) 

Another one to add to your list is http://mapmill.org (the one we used for 
Sandy) which is closer to Pybossa style tasks.


They are more mini microtask thing than the HOT tasks have tended to be, but 
that doesn't mean the ideas can't brought together somehow in a useful way. 
Simpler aerial imagery assessment microtasks could provide data used to set up 
boundaries for the HOT tasking manager perhaps. If nothing else this could be 
inspiration for new features of the HOT tasking manager.

Subject: [HOT] Tasking Manager Interchange
 

In the interest of expanding everyone's horizons... :)
I'm wondering if the tasking manager is able to provide some kind of feed. The 
SBTF is getting ready to use PyBossa 
(http://blog.okfn.org/category/okf-projects/pybossa/) as a microtasking 
manager. I was thinking that we could provide a list of volunteer 
opportunities. The SBTF has a lot of downtime where we lose engagement with 
volunteers. This would expand their understanding and provide needed work.

We could just point people to the OSM TaskMgr, but this raises a larger point. 
We might be able to generate much greater interest and capacity by unifying the 
experience a bit.

Cross pollination of volunteers is a great thing, as their enthusiasm will 
spread outward.

What's the landscape?
