volunteered: “six billion sensors.” [Goodchild 2007]
};
applications = [

findings = { uses:
,
contributors:“only a small fraction of participants take part in mapping seriously in VGI… the majority are educated and tech-savvy males.” [Budhathoki and Nevodic-Budic 2010]
,
guidance:“aesthetics and intergenerational aspects are draws.” [Conaway, personal comm.]
};
questions = {
1: can design motivate contribution?
,
2: can wikimaps be universalized?
,
3: does vgi democratize?
};
