When we "stamped" an area "complete" we need to define what we mean by
complete.  We need to define a rough metric for "levels of
completeness".

If roughly we say:
"All major roads (motorways, trunks and primarys) are mapped and labeled
and the data is usable for basic road navigation"

Then I can say Metro Manila is complete.

I think there are some proposed evaluation/measurements for completeness
in the OSM wiki we can use a framework for the Philippines.

I propose we set "levels of completeness" like:
level 1 - all roads are mapped and labeled
level 2 - major POIs (fuel, schools, etc.) are mapped 
level 3 - footways and paths
level 4 - landuse and buildings
etc.

This kind of levels maybe too car-centric but it could be a start.

Keep it coming.

Yes! Schedule anyone?

I actually have a standard message in my OSM outbox on welcoming new
users (some of you have received them).  I monitor new contributors
using the itoworld's osmmaper.  I will continue doing this "welcoming"
unless somebody's willing to take on the load.

Any hands?
