[HOT] OSM Analytics - your awesome map stories... visualized!

[Cristiano Giovando]

Dear HOTties,

Today we are officially launching OSM Analytics [0], a project built
by Martin Raifer [1], HOT and partners, thanks to a grant that we
received from the Knight Foundation [2].

Here's a blog post that I just published with more details about the project:

https://hotosm.org/updates/2016-04-28_explore_how_the_world_is_mapped_with_osm_analytics

Please explore it and start digging into visualizations of OSM data.
You can clearly see the impact of HOT activations, both spatially and
temporally. There are some great mapping stories that you can tell
using OSM Analytics ;-)

We will continue to extend this platform further with more data layers
and tools. If you are a developer and want to join us, we look forward
to your pull requests [3].

If you just like OSM Analytics and want to propose more functions,
ideas, or find any bugs, please submit an issue here [4].

Lastly - as some of you may remember - a few weeks ago I asked the HOT
community for project name ideas [5]. After reviewing all your
creative entries, we decided that OSM Analytics was simple and
straight forward... so the fancy HOT coffee mug prize goes to Marc!

Happy mapping, and we look forward to many OSM / awesome map stories!

Cristiano
