Re: [OSM-talk] The aim of OpenStreetView
I upload all the photos I took during my mapping journeys. I'm not a photographer and I'm sure a photographer would abhorr those pictures. Sometimes taken from a riding bicycle or a moving horse... They are meant to be informative, that's all. Openstreetview.org will never be a direct competitor to GSV, as we simply don't have the technology nor the manpower nor the server space to make and store panoramic photos every 15m.

It's something in between I think. In terms of Google maps it would be the counterpart of panoramio maybe? See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetView There's another project called OpenStreetPhoto with the aim you mentioned second.

[OSM-talk] The aim of OpenStreetView
Hi, What is the aim of OpenStreetView - Is it a potential Google StreetView counterpart intended for viewing by general public (And therefore all photos must be nice, high technical quality, blue sky, around noon) ORIs it a help tool for OSM mappers (and therefore it is important what can be used as mapping support and the photos can be less nice, bad weather, dark - as long as they are informative)?
