Great stuff. Is it planned that this can be used as a DB of aerial  
photography from other sources such as private planes or authorities  
(just so  long as the photography is released on a suitable license)?

Also - Is OpenStreetPhoto going to be usable for storage of ground  
level photos of junctions, bridges etc which can be useful for photo  
route planning or not. The name you have used would lead me to expect  
that it would, however the project description seems to focus on  
aerial photography. Would this be a possible extension of the project?
