We just got permission from GeoEye to use some new imagery which
covers a lot more area than what we currently have, this shows the
extent:

The imagery is 23 TIFF files which I'm mirroring here:

The Google server is very slow so please don't hammer it more. I'll
see about setting up a torrent or something when we've got it all.

These are "orthorectified 8-bit compresed GeoTiffs", who can help with
turning these into something usable for OSM editors? I have no idea
how the TIFF -> WMS|Tiles process goes.
