[talk-au] OSM automation projects? (Road surface)

[Bob Cameron]

This is just a being inquisitive question.

Today I marked paved (was unpaved) route from Laggan to Taralga NSW 
after I drove it. I note that the underlying map (LPI?) actually showed 
the sections paved.

Am I correct in assuming that there as a first pass project that marked 
paved roads from imagery? if not how did it happen?

Is there an automation project in place that looks at imagery changes 
(by date) and pushes them for review or similar? (I'd be interested in 
review of rural areas as I travel often)

There doesn't seem to be much info at 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australia (NSW is particularly old - 
my link is also really slow so I cant easily search)

If there is a link to check please advise.

Thanks
