Hi,

Overall, image selection is an editorial task, and therefore not suited

Yes but let's view this the other way round. Say someone is making a
cool OSM based application for their little town/village and they want
to store some image links in OSM - would that be bad? Let them make
whatever decisions they must make about deep linking and whatnot.
This is often forgotten but we used to recommend to users that if they
want to map something which is likely of no interest to others, they
could do so by putting their username in front of the key, like
johndoe:image_link=...
What I'm saying is, yes I don't think that we should start a "project of
the month" encouraging everyone to put in image links everywhere; our
core project is making a map and ideally the image databases of this
would would have an API where you can quickly request images for a
certain location. But if someone *wants* to do it, then we certainly
shouldn't tell him to stop.
Bye
Frederik
