help crowd-source open public transport data

[derhuerst]

There are many JS libraries and general tools available for working with the VBB GTFS data. But having additional (crowd-sourced) data will eventually help make public transportation in Berlin more accessible and convenient.

A few data sets we've started collecting:

repo	description	tasks to be done
vbb-change-positions	Database of station-specific platform positions for changes between VBB metro, suburban and regional lines.	contribute more stations & lines, see contributing
vbb-osm-relations	VBB lines, platforms and station entrances and their OSM relations.	update the list
vbb-stations-with-wifi	All VBB stations with free wifi.	Is the list up-to-date?
vbb-platform-patterns	Database of VBB station platform wall (tile) color patterns.	Contribute more stations!
vbb-station-photos	Photos of every subway station in Berlin.	add missing stations, cover S-Bahn as well
vbb-common-places	This is a collection of aliases for common stations (like "zoo", "alex", "kotti") to make the search better.	add more entries
vbb-station-operators	Which operator services a Berlin public transport station?	add more stations, e.g. in Brandenburg

I think it might also make sense to add umsteigen.jetzt by @juliuste. It has a lot of potential, but needs more research backing the numbers in the calculation. We should document this.
