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

[Johan C]

OSM has got over 1,1 million registered users now. About 20.000 of them
frequently make edits. There's still a lot of opportunities here, because
all registered users at least have some interest in OSM. The question is:
how do we unlock this giant community potential?

Cheers, Johan
