Perhaps at commit time is more opportune, be it a plugin or core feature:


Your changeset ID is 123123133.  Thank you for helping to improve the map!

400 other changesets were made in the last hour.
You have 2 messages from other mappers.
5 people edited the same area you just did, including 0 first time mappers.
7 tagging conventions are up for discussion: paving_stone_aggregate_size,
taginfo_alt_data, 'renaming status approved to published'.
Upcoming conferences include: STOM USA April 1st, OpenGeoGeo.

Nothing here forces anyone to care about the community, but it could
connect them to community.
