Sharing recorded tracks / imagery for someone else to turn into data? (feddit.de)

I've found that I still record a lot of data while hiking. Trail surfaces, POIs, you name it. However I find less and less time to turn these datasets into actual map data. I can't be the only one that this happens to. Is there some kind of service that connects people that collect data and armchair mappers?

All common OSM compatible street level imagery services allow you to upload photos manually. Kartaview uploader can even add GPS data to the images from a GPX file, so if you use a camera without GPS it can still place them to the correct location if you recorded your trip with a different device:

Mapilllary: https://www.mapillary.com/desktop-uploader This is the most user friendly, but unfortunately owned by Facebook/Meta
Kartaview CLI uploader: https://github.com/kartaview/upload-scripts
Mapilio's uploader was removed temporarily for some reason: https://mapilio.com/uploader
Panoramax has a web uploader and a CLI tool: https://panoramax.openstreetmap.fr/pourquoi-contribuer

Yes. For imagery that shows an entire road, these seem reasonable. However, sometimes I take detailed imagery for additional information, e.g. here's a fixed point. It can definitely be mapped but the only info this image delivers is "it's a fix point" and the coordinates in EXIF:

Or, here's a sign I found on a barn that informs us about the build date of the barn:

Should I just put these on Panoramax as well?

On mapillary I have seen imagery like this a lot of times, so I think it should be ok.

I already found a similar manual survey on panoramax here: https://panoramax.ign.fr/#background=streets&focus=map&map=18.08/48.859874/2.347155&pic=569af393-05b8-4711-928f-ccf278afe654&speed=250&theme=type&xyz=336.00/0.00/30

It seems panoramax.openstreetmap.fr instance is down. There are licensing differences between the ign.fr and the openstreetmap.fr instances, and the ign.fr is France only.

The data deposited on the IGN instance are published under the etalab-2.0 license, and those on the OSM France instance under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.

Source: https://panoramax.fr with an online translator.

This etalab license seems something used by the French Government, but I can't find a lot of information about it on the internet in English. From this official pdf it seems like something more open than CC.
