<div dir="ltr"><div>Streetcomplete has some level of gamification stars badges etc. At present the badges mostly seem to be used to highlight other OSM things that might be of interest to you based on what you've been editing.

If you get a flagged changeset, you get a message that you can fix it with help, and that you can earn a badge for it like a "Mentee Level 1", showing you have been approved by other Mappers for fixing a mistake, but you could get the same badge for making a series of perfect edits endorsed by an existing mapper. Or a bad edit blocks you from getting it, but you get informed that you can qualify if you work with somebody to fix the mistake. Motivational!<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Then badges based on data types: a road runner who adds a lot of roads, badges for fixing speed limits, a POI Hound, etc. Then maybe in apps like street complete or vespucci you can get recommended to fix or enrich the nearby map in a way that's tailored to your specialty. <br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I would love to have little stickers or pins at a state of the map conference which show the badges I got on OSM, and I could find other Mappers who have a strange interest in adding utility poles or electric car chargers or hiking trails just like me. You could even have a badge for contributing to the map on every continent, or for contributing a minimum number with survey as a source, with GPS as a source, or a language badge for adding like 50+ place names in any particular language like Spanish or Swahili. <br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">You could set all this up outside OSM but any user could log onto this site and see what badges they qualify for. As I aid the data and stats all exist, just time to categorize them. I'm happy to help think about this.<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">It would be fun to take some inspiration from scouting organizations (Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts etc) for merit badge scenarios which is separate from a sort of rank/title, and sketch out what helps a mapper qualify for these. <br></div></div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr">On Sat, Oct 17, 2020, 19:05 Clifford Snow <<a href="mailto:clifford@snowandsnow.us" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">clifford@snowandsnow.us</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Oscar,<br></div><div>I saw your post on Slack and glad to see you are also posting on a mailing list.

The OSMF-Talk mailing list is for Foundation related issues. The Foundation is more about running the servers, licensing, etc. The Foundation isn't directly involved in day to day mapping. On the other hand, we are always looking for more Working Group volunteers. You can find a list of the Working Groups at <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Working_Groups" target="_blank">https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Working_Groups</a>.
