I've been looking at the statistics, complements to Johan C, for pointing me to the resource (which I can't find right now.) When looking at the number of mappers as a percentage of population, the US lags. I'd like to see the US agree to measure the metric, mappers per 100,000 population with a goal of drastically improving the numbers. Sorry for being off topic, but Martijn comments were too good to pass up. -- Clifford OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
