<p dir="ltr">I thought it was odd that the survey listed two osm "gamifications" I'd never heard of, and didn't mention a few I do know of, like the missingmaps leaderboard ( <a href="http://www.missingmaps.org/leaderboards/#/missingmaps">http://www.missingmaps.org/leaderboards/#/missingmaps</a> ), the telenav challenges (2014-2015, with leaderboard and cash prizes) or numerous other leaderboards like MapLesotho's ( <a href="http://maplesotho.cbroderick.me">http://maplesotho.cbroderick.me</a> ), not to mention the OSM rank itself, as it appears on HDYC ( <a href="http://hdyc.neis-one.org/">http://hdyc.neis-one.org/</a> ) which I check daily. HDYC shows that there are still two human accounts higher-ranked than me, obviously I must map harder!! :)</p>
