hi, i have to think about "new users" first. how long to monitor, what will be showed etc. it also might imply some storage of local data - as well as a whitelist would.
i am not sure about a whitelist. good can turn into evel at least. but of course that's the worst case. since the tool is called user activity it shouldn't mask some actions/users. but of course it could be an option. the map is good for local areas and for an overview of a region/country. but the details vanish fast. or on the other hand you could generate pics the size of 20.000 x 30.000 pixels which are hard to handle and view... cheers gary68 gerhard On Fri, 2009-09-18 at 13:08 -0700, Mikel Maron wrote: > Nice start! > > Agreed that filtering for users outside the "social network" of OSM is going > to be incredibly useful.
