Thanks for doing this Steve.

However, is there a way to report script kiddies who are running a script to
just rack up points that aren't doing anything to help out OSM and just want
to win the prize?  Should I just report them to the DWG, especially since he
hasn't talked to talk-us about running the script?  The reason I'm asking is
because I've already spotted one of these type of users who is just running
a script that is just changing tags from one to another type to rack up the
edits.  Heck, he's also somehow editing some nodes just to make them his
without doing anything to them (no idea how he's doing that!).

As many of you probably know, I'm heading up OSM initiatives over at
Telenav, the Bay Area-company that develops GPS navigation apps like Scout
<http://www.scout.me/app> .
For three years, Telenav has been dedicated to helping the community through
map updates. Today, we've kicked off a contest <http://www.scout.me/osm>  to
see if we can help drive even more edits over the next 30 days. Anyone can
win and it's pretty easy to enter.
All you need to do is sign up here <http://www.scout.me/osm>  to register
for the contest and make as many quality edits as you can by the end of
March 10th!
We're asking that editors focus on the U.S. and to make edits either through
OpenStreetMap.org <http://openstreetmap.org/>  or Battle Grid
<http://battlegrid.us/> . We have created a point system for edits and the
person with the most points between now and March 10 will win either an iPad
Mini or a Samsung Galaxy Note (your choice!).
Good luck and happy editing!

Steve
