Hi there,

I am a member of the wikidata community and from our side we also try to be
as integrative as possible. It is really nice to see that there are similar
efforts happening on OSM. Really cool!

Not long ago Magnus Manske (CC'ed) released Wikidata The Game. Explained on
this blog post http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=203
And you can play it here: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-game/

Basically it is a set of gamified tasks in a way that volunteers can do
large volume data processing in a fun way. It is really entertaining and
addictive!
Maybe you could think of a similar way of gamifying the comparison between
OSM data and Wikidata?

Cheers,
Micru
