- andrewgleave 15y agoGreat app. Next week I'm releasing a project for the Isle of Man which crowdsources the recording of location and health of Elm trees (via iPhone and Android app). The Island is one of the very few locations in the UK which still have a healthy population but has recently suffered funding cuts meaning Gov. surveys are no longer being done, and hence the need for a public solution. If the app could recognise more species of elm (English and American seem to be there, but no Wych or Dutch for example), would be a valuable tool for users trying to contribute to the project. The source for the Django app and PhoneGap-based mobile app will be up on GitHub next week, and the data is publicly available via our CouchOne instance (http://redrobot.couchone.com/_utils/database.html?openelm http://redrobot.couchone.com/_utils/database.html?openelm) – the project isn't live yet so there's only a small amount of data.
