Basically I see this type of project having a number of different  
components, the 3D view, the storing and managing of the photos and  
the original taking of the photos. What I've been concentrating on is  
the storing and managing of the photos. I had seen openstreetphoto and  
saw that you had looked at this but I thought you were concentrating  
more on the aerial imagery. The sign reading software should be cool  
so what I would be looking to do is to provide a large set of photos  
that someone could run this software on when it's written. I've had a  
slightly better look at the wiki now but I don't actually see where  
people can upload photos, is this available yet as that was where I  
was going to focus my efforts?
