In some areas, just based on how the GPS tracks wiggle on a straight road, it seemed that the balloon map is a pretty great resource for filling in detail (once it's well rectified, of course). See the screenshots in the page above. Anyhow, I'm the main developer for MapKnitter.org, which is where most grassroots balloon/kite mappers in our community are rectifying their imagery. I was thinking it'd be really nice to add a "*Use your map to contribute to OpenStreetMap*" link/button, which could deep-link into a Potlatch 2 page with the layer already set up. Is that kind of deep linking something anyone is interested in collaborating on? I can do all the integration from the MapKnitter side but don't have much experience with Potlatch code. I could also put this in as a Google Summer of Code idea but maybe it's too use-specific and actually too small of a project. Just wondering if this was interesting to folks.
