[OSM-Science] Fwd: [OSM-talk] Paper/Article about stagnation in OSM

[Abhishek Nagaraj]

Great to be on this list. I've always wanted something like Wikimedia
Research (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research) for OSM, and
the efforts by Joost, Peter and Frank are a great step in this direction.

I have been researching / working on OSM stuff for over 4 years now.
Unfortunately, my day job involves translating OSM research into
academic-language -- but hopefully this forum is a good place to translate
some of what I've been working on to the community and soliciting the
community's feedback. Here is a talk I gave at SOTM-US recently:
https://youtu.be/K1Gh3kSxIok and here is one from my student
https://youtu.be/Rjh3_1NUVNo).

Hopefully this is of interest and hopefully will have more time to chime in
on this group on occasion!
