this is really a repo for an index of imagery in general, some of which is
historical.

in looking at it, a couple of questions come to mind. the first is that
there
is very little metadata, just the name of the area the image is for, and
a URL. it'd be nice to have a link to the explicit statement that gives
permission
for tracing, and the identity of the organization responsible for the
images and
the organization responsible for the server (if they're not the same.)

i'm glad to see it's not actually a repo of imagery, git is a terrible
tool for big
binary lumps.

but basically, this is more or less the equivalent to a wiki page of links.
