Why do you think we have Yahoo! imagery in potlatch? Specifically  
because we've been told that we can use it for deriving map data.

Though it's taken me a few attempts to get used to potlatch, I'm now  
quite happy to use it. I definitely prefer it to the old applet now.  
Generally I use it for tracing on top of the Yahoo! imagery but I do  
find it handy being able to just flick to the edit tab if I notice  
something's wrong. I do still use josm for the bulk of my mapping,  
but I'm definitely happy to use potlatch too. If you're having  
trouble using it you might find this link useful:
