Since it was first announced in october 2015, I have been watching the demo instance of https://github.com/MichaelVL/osm-analytic-tracker (developed by a fellow dane) almost daily and have found it immensely useful for keeping track of the activity in all of Denmark (the country north of Germany). Until this year I have been practically singlehandedly guarding my entire country, welcoming new users and catching and correcting all kinds of mistakes, sometimes within as little as 5 minutes and actually been pretty succesfull at it. This year a few other contributors have started watching the instance too, but unfortunately none of them still has the necessary experience and confidence for really helping out. I hope they eventually will. I listed the link to the instance on my profile page: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Hjart , so that anyone wondering how I discovered their edits so fast, has a chance of finding out. Of course this tool requires running a dedicated server, but if you want an efficient tool for patrolling a country/state sized area, this is it.
