[HOT] Analysis of when mappers joined OSM

[Bryan Housel]

Hi Janet,
The OSM API can give details about when a user created their account, and how many changesets they have contributed.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Details_of_a_user <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Details_of_a_user>

While the API will tell you how many changesets a user is up to right now, it’s not easy to know how new the user was at the time they made an edit.  For this reason, the next version of iD will also include the user's `changesets_count` as a tag on each changeset, to make this analysis a bit easier. 

Thanks,
Bryan

We’re interested in analysing what proportion of mappers on these projects are new to OSM http://tasks.hotosm.org/?direction=asc&page=1&search=Tanzania+Development+Trust&sort_by=priority <http://tasks.hotosm.org/?direction=asc&page=1&search=Tanzania+Development+Trust&sort_by=priority>
