Hi Jose, all, Daniel, cc'd, is the best person to answer queries around Crowdcrafting.org and PyBossa, the main platform behind it. Your request is timely in that we are running a science hackday around crowdcrafting.org on Saturday 16 March in London. You can find information and registration information at :
http://okfn.org/events/science-hackday-march-2013/ We will be hacking on PyBossa, the crowdsourcing platform behind crodwcrafting.org and EpiCollect, a platform for collecting data using mobiles and web forms. One of the projects that we will focus on at the hackday is to bring the two together, so you can get the help of the crowd in analysing the data that you gather. As Rufus mentioned, an example of such a task could be to add markers to an openstreetmap map. If you're interested to learn more, it would be great if you could come along to the hackday or participate remotely. I would love to hear if that would be of interest!
