[OSM-talk-be] some osm.be statistics

Mon Nov 2 20:42:39 UTC 2015

Und für die Belgischen Deutschsprecher: la même chose? ;)

NB uw Imgurprentjes komen niet door in de de mail (Thunderbird op 
Ubuntu), wel kan ik de links aanklikken om ze te bekijken. Eén grafiek 
heeft een enkel datapunt voor 2013 en twee lijnen voor 2015 ?! 
Tikfoutje, vermoedelijk.

NB ik heb geen flauw idee of mijn Firefoxbrowser als Engels of 
Nederlands of wat dan ook wordt aangemeld. Engels, denk ik, als ik de 
drie streepjes rechts aanklik krijg ik toch allemaal opties in die taal..?

Dank voor de moeite, grappig om eens door te kijken!
