I've always wanted something like Wikimedia Research (<a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research</a>) for OSM, and the efforts by Joost, Peter and Frank are a great step in this direction.<div><br></div><div>I have been researching / working on OSM stuff for over 4 years now.

Hi,<br>
<br>
I don't necessarily agree with all that's been written but I found<br>
<br>
<a href="http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2053951718790591" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2053951718790591</a><br>
<br>
an interesting read: "The social construction of technological stasis:<br>
The stagnating data structure in OpenStreetMap."<br>
<br>
Grossly simplified, the author tries to answer the question "why haven't<br>
we shipped API 0.7 yet" from a social science viewpoint.<br>

<div>This looks like it's a scientific equivalent to the famous "Why OSM is in serious trouble" from a while back. Quote from the abstract:<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"The technological stasis is rather rooted in the dominant position of few project members who are able to change the software design; it is their perception of the project that defines how data should be stored and what features are dispensable."</div>
