Impressive site. Pleased to see OpenStreetMap (I am part of the OSM
sysadmin team*) and my CD:NGI aerial imagery site listed as layers.

WMS wouldn't be sufficient. I want to get access to the
unprocessed/un-rendered lines + polygon data. I have a few ideas for

OpenStreetMap already has a basic data sharing agreement with CD:NGI
via Dept Rural Development.
I wonder how Google got the data.
