Cliff,
Thanks for pointing out the png issue. If you choose png format, JOSM
will automatically make it transparent, because it adds transparent=true
to the generated WMS URL. And best to choose image/png; mode=8bit to
reduce the size of the image generated on the server, which helps with
speed on slow connections.
Also, if anyone has suggestions on the styling, please chime in. The
labels are a bit large, but they stand out.

Brian if I may - adding transparent=true on to the end of the URL will
allow the street layer to be transparent so satelite imagery can be
used along with the streets.
The URL would be
http://maps.mapwise.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=maps/fmo-base-osm-texas.map&transparent=true
After selecting the layer using the Get Layers, change the image from
image/jpeg to image/png
Then you are good to go.

There is now a task in the OSM Task Manager to help coordinate the

There is also a WMS layer of Texas statewide streets available at
http://maps.mapwise.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=maps/fmo-base-osm-texas.map&;
<http://maps.mapwise.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=maps/fmo-base-osm-texas.map&;>
- use that URL in JOSM.

Calling all TIGER fixup junkies. I've been poking around the
coastal areas of Texas where Hurricane Harvey is expected to
make landfall and seeing a lot of TIGER fixup needed. More
and more websites depend on OSM so it would be nice to
provide more accurate and updated info than what is there
now. Maps and GIS are going to be heavily relied on
especially after the storm.
Common issues:
- Streets that aren't there
- Tracks marked as residential. Many tracks are barely
visible or edges of farms and should be deleted.
- Driveways marked as residential streets (should be service).
- Streets needing realignment.
- Streets not connecting properly.
An interesting site using OSM is
https://livestormchasing.com/map
<https://livestormchasing.com/map>
Storm chaser locations are shown on OSM in real time and
there are video feeds from some of them. So that means you
can get real time video of what the ground looks like! Lots
of flooding already happening along the coast.
