[OSM-talk] Analysing the OSM community

[Matthias Meißer]

Hi there,

I'm thinking about doing some research on our community itself. I would 
like to do a statistical approach to analyse our commmunication channels
-mailinglists
-Forums
-wiki
-OSM private messages
-OSM changesets
to be able to do some datamining e.g. 'most mappers work strictly 
local', 'users just reading mailinglists in their native language',...

But as far as I know, this informations are unvailable to the public, so 
I had to use the main system instance.
I'm not that sure who might be the right person to talk with, cause of 
the different aspects e.g. technical, privacy,....
