Nice start! Agreed that filtering for users outside the "social network" of OSM is going to be incredibly useful. These are new users, who are (most unintentionally) causing issues, and folks who haven't earned trust in the community yet. Would it be possible to give a whitelist of trusted users to UserActivity and filter them out? Or only show users with number of edits below a certain threshhold.
With filters in place, an RSS feed or a map to consult weekly is going to be great tools for scaling monitoring of map activity. -Mikel ----- Original Message ---- From: Gary68 <g...@gary68.de> To: Richard Weait <rich...@weait.com> Cc: talk <talk@openstreetmap.org> Sent: Friday, September 18, 2009 9:57:19 AM Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] UserActivity / Vandalism etc. dear richard, yes, that's an idea. i added it to the wish list on the wiki page. now that the first real version is stable let's see what comes up. and i am sure there will be new features. although i stumbled upon the first doubts regarding the time slot analysis. One user thought that to be a bit too intrusive - personal data and so on... he might have a point there and i think i will add the mode "time slot" so i will be able to produce reports for the web without this section in the html file. but it keeps me (or other people) in a position to generate these portions of information privately. cheers gary68 gerhard On Fri, 2009-09-18 at 11:36 -0400, Richard Weait wrote: > On Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 7:46 AM, Gary68 <g...@gary68.de> wrote: > > > > PLEASE X-POST TO TALK-GB, i am not registered there. tnx! > > > > hi, > > > > i just finished version 2 of UserActivity, a program that monitors > > actions in a certain area. there are new reports and drawn maps to be > > seen in/via the wiki: > > > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UserActivity > > > > new: > > - map mode > > - detailed map mode > > - ways are monitored > > - working time slots are monitored > > > > so, now the next vandal can come :-)) > > > > > > cheers > > Dear Gerhard, > > Wonderful! > > Is it possible to add some visualization of new users vs. amount of > activity?
