[Maps-l] NYPL old maps tool

[Tim Alder]

Hello,
yes we have Commons:Geocoding/overlay and actually are 104 prepared maps 
there.
But we could need a better editor with a real rectifier and a 
OpenSource-Viewer like OpenLayers.
So feel free to be active in this  topic.

Your big advantage is in the moment that we don't need to save the 
images on an additional place.
Not sure how to combine this with a rectifier.

I believe with over 6 Mill. images on Commons in the background we could 
be better than now and
more successfully than  http://www.openaerialmap.org in the past.

Greetings Kolossos
