Dunno, sounds like a potentially useful plugin to the trail navigation apps out there to have a 'flag trail work' option that could also accept photo uploads. Sure, it would get larded up with since standard internet faire, but as a mechanism to track and organize sorts of work get done, it would be reasonable. Attach it to some Google docs, and spend winters mapping out some of the desired trail work, and it could spread out the burden. Might need some catchy name like Open Source trail work, but in other hobbies where I'm equally mystified and grateful for how much effort, skill, and brilliance get dumped in voluntarily by a dedicated few to further the sport, the best currency to offer is recognition for work done, and the community that emerges from collaboration.
