[OSM-talk] Why do we have so many registered users with zero edits ?

[Jean-Marc Liotier]

Looking at the profiles of nearby mappers displayed on my profile page's 
map, I am astonished to find that most of them have made zero edits. 
Those people went through the effort of registering (some even added an 
avatar picture) but then did not use their account for anything - no 
edits, no traces, nothing.Why ? Are these mere spam registrations or are 
we actually losing good potential mappers in the first hours of their 
life as Openstreetmap users ? How many of them do we have ? Do we have 
logs that we can analyze to understand how they came to Openstreetmapand 
how they dropped out ?
