Hi, I did a talk on data temperatures and game concepts in OSM at SOTM 2011:
http://www.fosslc.org/drupal/content/insert-coin-play (I'm not funny like Schuyler, be warned) (slides: https://oegeo.wordpress.com/2011/09/12/insert-coin-to-play-my-talk-at-state-of-the-map-2011/) Also, there is a Badges page on the OSM wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Badges (some good links there to interviews with StackOverflow's Jeff Atwood on the matter, as well as some examples of gameification in OSM) There is a *lot* of resistance to the idea of gam(e)ification in OSM. Attracts the wrong type of contributor, quantity over quality, OSM is not a game, those kinds of arguments. I strongly believe in introducing game concepts into OSM. The next step for the Remap-A-Tron I did a while ago (http://lima.schaaltreinen.nl/remap/) would be to have users log in with their OSM account so the app can keep rankings. Anyone with OAuth skills in the room? Martijn On Mon, Sep 24, 2012 at 4:49 PM, Stefan Keller <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Recently I stumbled upon Gamification.
