[OSM-talk] Idea for improving mapping system

All the OSM 'leaderboard' sites I've seen are based on quantity.
OSM needs more quality mappers.

There's a page which tabled the number of changesets created by 
individual contributors per day/week/month. I believe this led to a few 
anal retentives quickly creating one changeset for every couple of 
amendments. desperate to stay a the top of the list.  Not only does this 
speed editing create errors , it meant validation was even harder than 
having one changeset over a large area.
