Thanks Roger,

photography contests, and they are willing to take images and release them
under open licenses. I'd also add that enough of the images are good that

Firstly - Good summary WSC
Geograph is basically a wiki for images. You take a picture. You load it to
Geograph and specify where the item is and where you were standing when you
took it. The picture is then looked over by someone to check its not a
picture of your thumb. THe picture is categorise
Can someone give me a quick overview of how geograph works and how the
images are taken?
I ask this because a number of images from my home town are poor quality,
and incomplete (I can locate less than 5 notable buildings photographed in
the town, when the real number is circa 20-30).

The part of the Geograph that we've imported so far is indeed

I remember the discussion (though I didn't remember the mention of the EH list).
I suppose we could try asking them nicely to give us the list in a more useful

Huge dents have been made in the Geograph backlog since last year, thanks
mainly to changes in HotCat and Cat-a-lot on Commons and the dedication of
