When I walk around I find all kind of IDs already out there, so it may be easier than we think. Bus stops, billboards, buildings (all the Bs). And creating arbitrary points for commenting is easy, for both adding to the data and commenting on.
I’ll look into the CommonSpace app a bit more; I want to know if everyone expected to use it is a planner or trained by a planner, or if there are reasons to use it as a person in the world.
Are you thinking having a platform up all the time, for general public use, and then ping the existing users to join in to a given survey? We are ideating useful things to map. I was reminded of a time when a website, maybe called SeeClickFix, was popular on Oakland websites, and it was one of those general problem tagging sites.
I see value in such a platform, though I’m not sure that site got anything done, because turns out pointing out a bunch of problems online doesn’t actually solve anything.
