My last update about the HDYC website is a few months old now. For those readers who do not know what HDYC is: “How did you contribute to OpenStreetMap?” is a webpage which shows you in detail how long, when, where a member of the OSM project contributed to the project and which tools she/he used.
This time I added some new stats and graphs to the site. One of my favorite new features is the location information which shows the countries in which a contributor created at least one OSM Node:
A second new feature shows how long the mapper is already registered with the project and how many *active* mapping days she/he had:
You can also find some more information about the changesets of the user e.g. the number of changesets with a comment, the number of unique changeset comments and the median character length of the comments. Additionally, you will also see some information about deleted nodes, ways or relations:
Some of you might know about Richard Weait’s “Mapper Baseball Cards” idea. I added a similar graph to the end of the page to show which editors have been used by the mapper (thx Richard for the idea).
You will also see some facts about how many traces a user has uploaded to the OSM project and how many user blocks he received or if a user block is still active. Most of the stats are updated on a daily basis while the changeset stats will be updated once per week (which depend on the changeset dump).
Maybe we should create a “Hall of Fame” of OSM Contributors?
- Contributor with most visited countries? -> mikelmaron ?
- Most active contributor? -> Zambelli Limitada ?
- … any other ideas?
However, I hope you like it!? Have fun …

Hi – cool and nice to see new stuff added
an idea – who is the world leading senior mappers? like an top100/1000 list or called it a Hall of mapping fame
Senior mapper = people who have made > 1000 nodes in a country
So the list shows who is a senior mappers in most countries
“Most visited countries” should not count those with 1 changeset. See http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?katpatuka 🙂
It doesn’t quite know what type of mapper I am. It just says nothing.

thx, was a bug. Pls try again with your username :)B
Schönes Ding! Ich hatte meinen ersten Eintrag schon längst vergessen… Keep on!
danke dir 🙂
What I think would be most interesting would be some statistics/graphics detailing such things as max/median/average number of nodes and ways per changeset
I noticed that more frequent changesets metadata updates are now available from planet.osm.org. Not sure if that helps with the updates, but mentioning it just in case.
I like the changes 🙂
How about puting the user picture somewhere, to humanize these stats a little ?
As for a more challenging improvement : there’s a lot of interesting metrics here but I often wish they were sliced differently. How did metric foobar evolve over the years ? Am I mapping differently depending on the country ? Do I use JOSM for relations and potlach for the rest ? If there was a graph that offered a dropdown of options for the X and Y axis, we’d have the answer to those questions.
Thx, user pics will be available with the next update.
Bug : “Project days” reports “NaN” for me:
http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?Pieren
thx, fixed.
Thanks for your service to the community with this kind-of data.
I like the new information. I check my stats every once in awhile. The one interesting thing is that my use of Josm now exceeds Potlatch 1 and 2. What that does not say, however, is that I use Josm exclusively now. It would be interesting to break the editor use down by year like the “Number of Mapping Days per Year” bar graph.
I also like how odbl, http://odbl.de/north-america.html, calculated an OSM merit by both world and region. OSM merit = nodes × 1 + ways × 5 + relations × 20.

Hi – nice stats, thanks! Do you have any idea why it says I have 874 changesets, whereas on my osm userpage it says “996 edits”? I think your data is up-to-date so why the difference? (my username is mcld)
Hi Dan, thank you for your comment. The Changesets stats will be updated on each Friday. I think you did a lot of changesets in the last days, right?
Thank you for your work! Really interesting stats!
How often will the “Created Nodes per Country” be updated? It looks as if they still have the initial values of Oct 13th, 2012.
Hi Wili, thank you for your comment. Right, it will be updated with the next full OSM history dump. Maybe in one or two months …
[…] The “How did you contribute to OpenStreetMap?” webpage got an update. Read more information in a blog post. […]
when will be next update for Created Nodes per Country, last update was Feb 5th, 2013 and I reeeeaaaaaaaly need to see how it changed:)
Hi Walley, sorry, I need a new OSM Full History Dump/File to update my database. http://planet.openstreetmap.org/planet/full-history/
“Created Notes per Country” not been updated after Feb 5th, 2013
Hi Sanjak, see comment above … sorry.
