Here's a possibly silly, possibly serious question: who do we trust to keep photos of features? Once I finish gathering my set of photos of NY railroad bridges, where should I upload them so that I can automagically add links to the photos to each OSM bridge=yes way?
Flickr? Archive.org? Wikimedia.org? Google Photos? Instagram? The trouble with any for-profit service is that if they cease to make money, they will be shut down. The trouble with any non-profit service is that if they cease to get donations, they will be shut down. Has anybody attempted to solve this problem before in other problem domains? Unfortunately, I don't know everything (it's a flaw of mine), so it's quite possible that there is some RFC or standard or suchlike where you name a photo with an MD5 of its contents, and then upload it to multiple sites or something like that I have no idea quite what. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
