Thanks Frederik for kicking this off, good discussion of a *potentially* v
useful feature.
No matter how nearby users presentation is tweaked and filtered, I reckon we
need consider how to architect this efficiently. To calculate "activity", by
changesets or sign up date or any other parameters

Always good to agree on the use-case before nailing the imp
To highlight just one of Pascal's maps, there is a "Newest OSM
Contributors" map, and if you look at the fine print at the bottom, you can
create an RSS feed for a bounding box of your choosing.

Nearby users is not to confuse with nearby contributors, or nearby active
contributors ;)
As a new contributor, what should be useful is the nearby active
contributors, in order to reach someone active to get some help, ask
questions, etc.
As an active contributor, I think it is useful to have th

Hi!
I agree, the current nearby list ist unusable - and rather discouraging. The
map looks very much like a mapping cemetery with all those dead accounts.
:-)
I believe the sorting by distance is fine. The list is in need of a simple
filter with 3 settings:
- all (like today)
- only users with a
For performance issues, it is probably easier and faster to sort by
last edit. Profile pages are already slow to open.
On the other hand, the map could change the marker colour based on the
same attribut, either with a gray scale from black to almost
