Collaboration
Building on the success of HOT's Tasking Manager, a tool for coordinating remote digitization of map features, the FMTM was conceived with the purpose of tagging the features with field-verified information.
While there are many excellent applications for tagging map features already, the FMTM aims to solve the problem of coordinating field mapping campaigns.
More details can be found in this overview, timeline and the docs page.
This project relies heavily on the ODK ecosystem underneath:
In the wake of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, volunteer developers created the Tasking Manager after seeing a similar coordination challenge for mapping areas without existing data.
Now with over 500,000 volunteer mappers, the Tasking Manager is a go-to resource for volunteers to map collaboratively.
