I made a new tracker tool for this school mapping project:

http://harrywood.dev.openstreetmap.org/diffreader/schools


So have fun with that! This gives us a user ranking of who's been making most 
edits to schools, counting by objects rather than by changesets. If you edit 10 
schools in a single changeset you score 10 edits. So that's better but...

Obviously this might "mis-count" in other ways. Minor tweaks will count the 
same as careful detailed mapping. Repeated tweaks split into different 
changesets will score one per changeset. The biggest problem is that careful 
detailed mapping of buildings and other features inside a school area, which 
we'd definitely like to encourage, won't get counted at all unless you touch 
the school area.

You may recognise it as a re-purposing of the Wimbledon tennis edit tracker and 
the Big Baseball Project edit tracker. I've made it filter out only school 
edits within a UK & Ireland bounding box (which was a surprisingly difficult 
extension to the code, since diff files don't necessarily have any coordinates 
for a modified way) I set the tool to crunch the numbers starting from 1st Jan.


One thing I said during the baseball project, was that user rankings are all 
good fun, but the most important number is the number of users we've managed to 
get involved in the project! (highlighted in yellow) But maybe I'm just saying 
that because I need to work on my own ranking :-)
