That's unfortunate, i'm running a Cambridge crisis camp lesson on OSM editing 
for Pakistan on Tuesday and was going to get the new editors to start with 
Potlatch using Yahoo imagery. I guess we might have to take a leap of faith and 
get them to go straight into JOSM.

It would help though if the team can try to complete the SPOT imagery boundary 
that Harry has started, so that if there are some severely affected areas that 
are not covered by SPOT we can get them into some Yahoo tracing in those areas 
using Potlatch.

I've added it as a task:
