Thanks to the Pedestrian Working Group!

Any advice getting our city to share their high resolution aerial imagery with a provider that RapidEditor.org and/or JOSM can use?

@corvus @OpenStreetMapUS This repo/page is a good place to start. You'd need to ask the imagery be licensed in a way that is compatible for use with OSM, the imagery provided over a service compatible with editors, and finally that service added to the index so it shows up in editors.
