[talk-ph] new high-res images available from digitalglobe

[maning sambale]

Kai and all,

Yes we have secured a space in the OSM-dev server.  I have been
uploading the files for generation of a mapnik like tiles which
everyone can use in any OSM editor.

Almost halfway the uploading process.  Will keep you updated for progress.
