Fetch imagery weekly #9730

Open arch0345 opened 1 year ago

Description

Currently, iD only fetches imagery from editor-layer-index before each minor release. Since the last release that updated imagery was over four months ago, many sources that have been added/updated since then are not available for those that use iD. It would be nice to have the imagery list updated independent of iD releases similar to id-tagging-schema, osm-community-index, and name-suggestion-index.

Since it looks like a prior attempts to version the index itself weren't successful, I propose creating a new repository that fetches imagery from ELI weekly. This repository would function in a similar way to how name-suggestion-index uses the nsi-collector repo to periodically collect common brands/operators from the OSM planet file.

Here's a proof of concept I made

Edit: Started writing this yesterday and didn't notice #9729 which seems to touch on the same issue

I’ve already built this thing like twice and #7425 is the thing to switch to.
