[Talk-in] Id editor on Bhuvan

Hey Shekhar -

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this. I think we are off to a
great start. The policy doesn't seem to be too restrictive, which I
find very positive.

Single user license is unclear. Can this be an organisation?

What's the capacity to which we can do this? But this is definitely
interesting for OpenStreetMap.

Definitely. We take attribution seriously anyway.

This is clearly a bottleneck. Also we should probably not depend on
NRSC's infrastructure while opening this in OpenStreetMap. Unsure how
reliable it is going to be.

Shekhar - what do you think our next step is?
I'm sending this to couple of contacts at the Indian Institute of
Remote Sensing and see what they think.

Cheers,
Sajjad.
