[OSM-talk] stat pr0n

[Martijn van Exel]

Where to start. There's the obvious ones like most active contributor per
region, first 100 nodes / ways (that persist), one /two/five-year
contribution anniversary, first dog waste disposal bag dispenser in your
home town, etc.
Also: badges tied to project of the week. The "World Mapper" badge for
mapping on all continents.

One of the many challenges with badges is that you want to encourage
*quality* mapping, not just quantity. Listen to the 'competition' episode of
  This Developer's Life podcast[1] to hear what StackOverflow's Jeff Atwood
has to say on the matter.

I intend to do a talk at SOTM on the topic.

Much inspiration to be taken from StackOverflow.
