If you’re interested in forming local mapper groups based on actual contributions to OSM you are free to use the Meet Your Mapper tool I built a little while ago.
You can draw a bounding box and retrieve a list of mappers who contributed there. It generates some basic stats such as number of nodes / ways / relations and tries to classify mappers in a few categories. Some more information here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mvexel/diary/44833 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mvexel/diary/44833> and the tool lives at https://mym.rtijn.org/ <https://mym.rtijn.org/> Martijn > On Mar 19, 2019, at 11:29 AM, Jonathan Brown <jonab...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Ideally, a local mapper/group would be one that contributed data to an open > digital map that can be verified and used to solve a problem (e.g., food > security, fresh water, climate change, etc.).
