In the wiki we have created a project page with instructions for integrating
and other information
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Luftbilder_aus_Dortmund

The aim of the project
Aerowest supported Openstreetmap and promises this strategic cooperation to
new insights into how free geographic information can be useful for
commercial spatial data providers.
In particular, hoped Aerowest a collection of house numbers are clearly
better than commercial providers currently able to deliver. If successful,
this pilot project is being considered by Aerowest to release aerial
photographs of other towns for the OSM community.

Special thanks goes to the German FOSSGIS as contractors.

and now a lot of fun with the aerial photographs
