[OSM-talk] User stats desperately wanted

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

   whenever I make a presentation about OSM, I tell them about our
exponential growth. I used to show them this

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/images/c/c7/Osmdbstats4A.png

but that's stopped in July last year, so I have no current picture
about the growth of our user base.

The page

http://www.openstreetmap.org/stats/data_stats.html

has a section "Number of users editing over the past Day/Week/ Month"
and it would be trivial to make a nice chart from this if only I had
run a "wget" on that page for the last year, which I haven't. Has
anybody by chance done this and can provide me with data, either raw or
cooked? Or is anybody else keeping track of the numbers in any way?

Also, I am often asked about the size of the community in Germany.
What I usually did is take the world-wide figures, compare the size of
germany.osm to planet.osm and adjust the figures accordingly. But with 
the huge amount of TIGER data this gets a bit distorted. Any ideas?

Bye
Frederik
