Pierre, Bill, I can confirm the imagery source is the same. Meaning, the 
imagery we licensed openly was used both by HOT (via Mapbox) and on the Tomnod 
platform. I am actually putting a blog post together on this topic, and this 
thread has been *very insightful*. Barrier of entry is indeed one of the huge 
differentiators! As an example, my kids can participate on Tomnod, but need 
another decade or so before they can contribute to OSM ☺. As such, we are 
seeing (I believe) a higher volume of contributors via Tomnod: over 25,000 
unique contributors so far.

So far, here is what the Tomnod team has validated, AND, here is a link to the 
GeoJSON:

488 Damaged Buildings Verified, 36 Damaged Roads Verified
Download the Validated geojson:

Sincerely, Kevin

Subject: Re: [HOT] TomNod integration for the next time around

Hi Pierre,

I think we're already using the same imagery; it's entirely from DigitalGlobe, 
and the Mapbox crew processed that and made it available to us within hours of 
it being released (Camilla or Charlie - correct me if I'm wrong). The issue is 
that participants (~5,000 people this time) in DigitalGlobe's Tomnod project 
are deriving basic damage assessment data from the same imagery, and that 
information isn't making it to OSM.

The two ideas I outlined below are just sketches for how we could make use of 
that derived data to save time and effort, though there are surely many more 
possibilities.

Sorry after 5 non stop days dont have time to digest everything.

We surely have to coordinate with others and not repeat what they have done. 
This imagery would be useful for OSM response to have general evaluations of 
villages + roads. We can also provide access to TMS images to hums and Nepal 
gov.

Monitoring is uneasy with all the imagery requests, imagery available from 
various sources.

It would help that the image monitoring uMap be completed with all the tasks 
and available imageries.
http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/2015-nepal-earthquake-contributions-via-the-task-m_37675#8/27.946/85.518

Do we have easy access to these imagery used for evaluation. Do we have tms 
link to easily use. Could the info be added to the uMap?

regard

Pierre

My bad - Robert pointed out that I pasted the wrong source data link in there 
(it was for TomNod Haiyan). Here's the Nepal data: https://t.co/zzSX2qrelM

Kevin Bullock of DigitalGlobe has graciously shared the results of the TomNod

It seems like there might be an opportunity in future activations (or now) to 
use this data for:

1.) Planning and prioritization - as we move into damage assessment we're 
probably going to be a step behind the TomNod participants; we should be able 
to configure tasks that focus on areas with a high concentration of damage 
reports and high levels of agreement. (I can't claim origination of this idea: 
https://twitter.com/iheartcrowds/status/593170666662146048)
2.) Direct import - this is more dangerous, but there's an opportunity to 
directly link TomNod contributions to OSM. High-agreement damaged buildings 
seems like a possible starting place.

There are many technical considerations to be ironed out, including the 
realtime nature of the TomNod data. It could benefit from a streaming API of 
some sort, as well as some form of integration in the task manager. In the 
meantime there's this somewhat-awkward url for overlays:

Hopefully this is an opportunity to minimize effort duplication and leverage 
another motivated group of contributors.
