Some initial ideas include but are not limited to providing leads from media sources extracted by our web scraping tool or locating missing highways from new housing developments.

We would love to hear from you. What do you think of these ideas?

 I brought it up on Discord, & concerns were raised over whether we can legally use "scraped" data, due to licensing copyright etc?

And are there any other areas where you need assistance or fields we can collaborate on?

A couple of suggestions that were made were

1. Perhaps getting higher quality, more frequent, more wide-spread street view 360 imagery; &

2. Using your influence, which is probably greater than OSM itself, to try to convince various Federal & State Govt departments to allow us access to their data

Thanks

Graeme
