This weekend I was this OpenStreetMap[1] people in my town (A Coruña) and they show me a "YahooMaps extension"[2] for JOSM[3]. They have made a strange process to use the Yahoo API (a navigator is needed to retreive the images, ...), but they can use YahooMaps data. It looks a very interesting solution.
