Data-driven research : 100% of subsequent posts in this thread have 
indulged in bikeshedding about whether to place a Facetweet button on 
the home page, while my remark was merely introductory to the main point 
of feeding our discussion not with opinions but with facts mined from 
visitor activity.

Anyway... Can anyone from the CWG give us a peek into the analytical 
tooling currently built into Openstreetmap's Web presence, what we can 
expect from it, what the future holds and what contributions are most 
welcome ?
