[OSM-dev] baseball cards, user stats and multiple accounts

[Peter Wendorff]

Nice...
Probably baseball cards are different from what I think they are, but 
these collector cards I know are tiny and very compact, so the "flair" 
of them for me comes from that compactness, even if that means small 
font sizes and so on, something I miss in your "pre-design" to make them 
"mapper cards" - but as you say yourself: it's not designed yet ;)

As a small hint on the content: the editor stat pie chart could contain 
the names in the tooltips - or the color key for the editors should be 
included in the table at least - where I prefer the first variant. ;)

regards
Peter
