No matter how nearby users presentation is tweaked and filtered, I reckon we
need consider how to architect this efficiently. To calculate activity, by
changesets or sign up date or any other parameters,

What's the best way to set up this kind of async stats processing, and
integrate into the rails app?

Hi,
I looked ad my personal nearby users list today for the first time
in a while and found only 2 people with edits in the last year, 16
people with no edits whatsoever, and the rest between over one year
ago and over five years ago. I know that OSM is vibrant in my corner
of the woods but

We could simply not list those people who have zero edits. Or we could
sort the list differently - but how? Currently it is sorted by distance;
should it be sorted by how long ago someone did their last edit? Or by
how prolific someone is? Or a
For performance issues, it is probably easier and faster to sort by
last edit. Profile pages are already slow to open.
On the other hand, the map could change the marker colour based on the
same attribut, either with a gray scale from black to almost
transparent or from 'red' or 'bright' for the
Hi!
I agree, the current nearby list ist unusable - and rather discouraging. The
map looks very much like a mapping cemetery with all those dead accounts.

I believe the sorting by distance is fine. The list is in need of a simple

One problem with that is that people may be using that view to find new

Nearby users is not to confuse with nearby contributors, or nearby active
contributors ;)
As a new contributor, what should be useful is the nearby active
contributors, in order to reach someone active to get some help, ask
questions, etc.
As an active contributor, I think it is useful to have
To highlight just one of Pascal's maps, there is a Newest OSM
Contributors map, and if you look at the fine print at the bottom, you can
