?I've been watching a little of this on the dev mailing list.
I'm looking forward to a plugin for JOSM. The imagery is very good in a lot
of areas that OSM is lacking (and which we have not received positive
feedback from municipalities). Richard's Bay for example is looking very
good.
Thanks for posting guys:P
Regards,
Brendan

Potlatch 2 went line on www.openstreetmap.org yesterday. Bing Imagery

impressive.
