What should we think about Mapillary?

https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=723330039096799

Mapillary offers world wide street and road views, like Google Street View. Images a released with the CC-BY-SA licence. However, Mapillary was taken over by Meta in 2020.

BTW: Hope I am at the right place here, or is this just for posting pictures?

This community is for anything related to creative commons/public domain/etc. This is a great fit for the community! Posting pictures is one way of keeping the community active (and reminding myself to post), but discussion is heartily welcome.

There's a few projects to replace Mapillary, but no clear winner yet. This is a recent one:

Thanks for your nice reply. :)

Didn't hear about Panoramax yet! They could use the data of Mapillary, since the images are CC-BY-SA, couldn't they?

Yeah, they should be able to. It'd be good to ask them about mass-importing the data. OpenStreetMap allows for that sort of thing, though they want you to work with them first to make sure it turns out well.
