JOSM 3751 has the nearmap slippymap (i think that's the older josm).
My idea is to use josm for the detailed tracing, then use qgis to convert it to a .shp file layer. Then upload it to koordinates.com as a public layer called 'your version of floodmess area'. If many people do this, then we have (on koordinates.com) a bunch of layers which are all similar, so it gets a 'croudsource view' of the area effected. The darker/higher concentratin of coverage, would tell those who would need to know, exactly where the floodline/contour is. This method is NOT using OpenStreetMap, but it's still 'crowdsourcing'. Worth a try :) ... also geocommons.com could be used to upload your version of the .shp file area. I'll have computer time sunday/monday to get started and upload my version. cheers, Sam ps. does anyone have a time stamp for exactly when the flood reached peak height?
