Hi Rob, it has been on the list before - but they have recently revamped it and added many more features, and maps! In my opinion it's a shining example of how geo crowdsourcing applications should be.
I believe it has been developed internally with the library - and I think they are just using Mapbox to host the tiles (originally coming from the warper at maps.nypl.org) The code is on github: https://github.com/NYPL/building-inspector and the data is available to download as well. http://buildinginspector.nypl.org/general/data Cheers, Tim On 29 April 2014 22:44, Rob Nickerson <[email protected]> wrote: > Don't think I've spotted this on the historic mailing list so I'll post it. > > NYPL digitizing old maps using crowd sourcing.
