Hi folks, We, as in those OSMers interested in historic maps are launching our own version of the NYPL Building Inspector site [1]. We're making great progress (for non-developers at least), but help is very welcome - especially if you're at sotm-eu hackday and are looking for something to do.

Hi All, Does our piwik stats site extend to the wiki? If yes, then can I get some anonymized data for page views as this would help me to target my wiki clean-up effort. https://piwik.openstreetmap.org/ Thanks, RobJN p.s. You could enable this level of anonymized data for non-logged in piwik

Hi, I have no idea what the CWG vote was on and I can't find the up to date minutes to check it. Despite this, you much surely recognise the issue. For example, even if we restrict the banners to just those promoting conferences then we could easily have a rotation of 5 or more banners: * SOTM *

I'm not sure what the final decision was for what will be and won't be promoted on the front page (and no doubt you are testing the waters here). For transparency I suggested that the SotM conference being promoted and for other events I suggested that we include a prominent events banner and then

On talk we spoke earlier this month about piwik.openstreetmap.org and how it is currently locked down but could potentially be opened up to provide some data (like that seen on http://openstreetmap.fr/piwik ) to the general public. Obviously the remaining data will stay behind a secure login.
