Where to start. There's the obvious ones like most active contributor per region, first 100 nodes / ways (that persist), one /two/five-year contribution anniversary, first dog waste disposal bag dispenser in your home town, etc. Also: badges tied to project of the week. The "World Mapper" badge for mapping on all continents.
One of the many challenges with badges is that you want to encourage *quality* mapping, not just quantity. Listen to the 'competition' episode of This Developer's Life podcast[1] to hear what StackOverflow's Jeff Atwood has to say on the matter. I intend to do a talk at SOTM on the topic.
