Depends on the layer. Some of the ones described as ortho imagery are provided by government sources and are really closely aligned to very well known survey points. Others aren't.
Even if you do have a layer done to a very high standard it could be older than some of the lower accuracy ones so there will be individual buildings that have been replaced or remodelled and the later source should be used.
IIRC the photos stay hosted untill a week after the note is resolved. They are in the website if the developer
In terms of keeping track of which areas you have done and which you haven't I think SimpleTaskManager is really good for single person projects. Divide and Map Now looks like it should be good for more collaborative stuff but I haven't tried it in a while.

I think the quickest way is with JOSM + the Building Tools plugin. If the buildings are all rectangles or "L" shaped then the Mapathoner plugin is really quick too.
Building tools is quick enough that if I'm fixing an area that's been mapped wonky it's often a lot quicker to re-trace the skewed buildings in a fresh layer and use the Conflate plugin to merge them back into the main layer than it is to fix the geometry directly (and that include individual checks).

I would expect ISO to be among the last organisations in the world to suggest that copyright should be waived for something or that there should be an open license.
Of course I'm not going to check in this instance because as a typical ISO standard it is obscenely expensive.
Don't copy from maps you don't have permission to use.

@pietervdvn @openstreetmap Thanks.
I did think that a background map that emphasised water would be good, I didn't think of trying to get MapComplete to pick out the navigable ways.
Marinas, chandlers and boatyards would probably be good things to have. A (read only?) lock layer for context maybe.
I think mooring areas would be good, but it seems these are normally done on lengths of way, but MapComplete would be limited to adding points (AFAIK).

My hdyc pie chart doesn't show: "Could not draw pie with labels contained inside canvas".
List-wise: JOSM, StreetComplete, OsmAnd, Potlatch, Vespucci, iD, JOSM (Reverter), MapComplete, Pic4Review and then the ones that are under 10.
So they haven't announced a change or anything?
You have (supposedly) been able to create your own public transport files for ages.

My first attempt with some guesswork as to what would be useful: fuel, water points, black water disposal, toilets, showers and other drinking water.

I've just spent a couple of hours editing and haven't had any issues.
