These heatmaps are interesting.
Neis changeset online map shows intensity of mapping only with the outset of
the bbox. Such heatmap could show the intensity of contribution in various
areas based on the number of objects.
To use this functionality for an online map with Openlayers or similar
javascript tool, we would surely need to aggregate the data. Otherwise, I dont
see with a project like the Ebola outbreak, how we could manage nearly 16
millions objects to represent on the Heatmap.

Thanks for the detailed note Pierre!
We seem to be on the same page — such stats are wonderfully misleading.
I’ve tried grouping HOT projects in the past based on the available metadata
and have indeed encountered all the obstacles you mention. Part of my
motivation to share this was also to gently nudge project creators to tag more
consistently :) Such metadata can be very useful for large-scale evaluations
and visualisations.

Yeah I’ve done that in the past on an older OSM history dump, that’s how this
world map of HOT contributions was created:

Although that image actually visualises individual edits, not just changesets.
