I built the Open Elm Project [1] back in 2011 to help mitigate the risk caused by lack of funding for professional surveys where I live.
Consists of a Django service with CouchDB as the data store and a couple of web-based iOS and Android apps.
Woefully neglected now since it was not really used. Uptake of mobile apps for this type of thing is difficult – especially in a population of 80k back in 2011/2012.
It looks like iriscouch.com is no longer live, as the data isn't loading on the map. Good thing I had it replicating to another server. :)

- maxerickson 10y agoIt'd only be vaguely silly to use OpenStreetMap as your data store. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dtree http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dtree
- andrewgleave 10y agoInteresting idea. If I reinvigorated the project I would probably have it augment some existing data set rather than create another independent one.
