Karl: This type of workflow is what is the goal for the Wikimaps environment. Set up tasks/groups/challenges/projects that can include scanning, gathering material and digitizing/vectorizing and people who are contributed to the task. I think a version of the Tasking Manager of HOT might be suitable for this (the mapping part) and I suppose there have been discussions about it. The question remains, in which environment should this "Maker space" be set up, or can it be part of many in a networked manner.
I am going to work towards setting up such a group tasking feature in Wikimaps in some timescale after establishing the environment first. There will be priorities and funding issues that set the pace.
