<p>Not a member of the London OSM community, but...</p>
<p>Also, do you think that there might also be an effect from
"visiting" OSM contributors to an area? <br>
</p>
<p>I used to regularly walk to/from occasional meetings with
companies in London and map items on the way -- so I'm guessing
(!) that there might be a number of OSM users passing through the
City of London (more than say "Greater London") -- each adding
their favourite items -- but maybe only infrequently, and without
wanting to "disturb" items that they're less familiar with / less
concerned about. Plus, it's much easier to add items, than it is
to remove/modify/update them, especially in a "cluttered" area.</p>
Cheers,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">my name is
Stefano, and I am a lecturer in geography at the University
of Leicester. Volunteered geographic information and OSM
have been one of my research interests for a few years now.
I have also done some very minor contributions to OSM
myself, but never in London and I am not very familiar with
the London OSM community.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As I have been
recently looking at some aspects data production and quality
of OSM in London, and I was wondering whether any of you
might have some time to help me out in interpreting some of
the data… I have a couple of maps that can use some local
expertise to make sense of them. :)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In particular, I
am looking at the relationship between feature density and
number of edits per features (among other things). It looks
like there are areas of London with consistently high
density but low average number of edits per features. I was
wondering whether this might be the result of local projects
or mapathons organised by the community? Or might there be
(and most probably there are) other reasons I am
overlooking?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
