On a snapshot is fine. No need to find who was mapping the same as me.

 There national versions of taginfo for France and the UK. That is, they
only look at the tags in 1 country.

 I saw all my questions in local, Belgian context. E.g. is there someone
else mapping heritage buildings in Belgium, or am I the only one ? If not,
we could get in touch and exchange ideas specific for Belgium. (or Flanders
or ...)

Do you compare with an external source, or is something complete when less
mappers are mapping it now compared to "yesterday" ?

My first interest is what are we (the Belgian community) mapping now. This
is somehow related to your "map completeness", something that is complete,
will no longer be mapped. I'm looking forward to see what you mean with
complete :-)
