When we're talking about source tags, we should use
whatever is useful for mappers. In theory source date
tags can be useful, but in practice I've not seen them
worth the bother.<br>

<div>Agreed. As a mapper something easy to type is ideal
such as lpi_imagery, lpi_basemap, but I'm not overly
fussed. I don't know how much I would use the Base map
though since I generally favor on the ground verification.
the Imagery will be very useful for more accurate tracing.<br>

I have been surprised at how accurate the base map is in its
location. The imagery would be usefull for building locations etc.<br>
<br>
The base map has things like post offices, libraries, medical, RFS,
parks, mountain tops, saddles, creeks, stations (homesteads,
ranches) with their names. And property address numbers for adding
the address information. <br>
<br>
On the ground sourcing is a much much slower process ... and has
'us' with lots of blank information. The base map will be very
usefull to me at least... to get information that is presently
missing in OSM. Must be 1,000s of street names missing in Sydney
alone. <br>
<br>
I'm using JOSM .. and find a source tag can be nicely descriptive
and used repetitively using a simple mouse click process once typed
initially. You could also use a copy and paste system. I tend to use
one source at at time so this works well for me. <br>
<br>
Verification is a much quicker process - you spot what is wrong and
only need to note that .. not every street name and its location. <br>
