Background

The Urban Parks geo-coding application is a micro-tasking app running on PyBossa. In the app volunteers are asked to find an urban park for cities around the world. The volunteers use a web map to browse the city, and then submit an answer: the coordinates of the urban park by placing a marker in the map, or saying: I don’t find any park.

More details about PyBossa can be found on the official site http://pybossa.com and also in the online documentation.
