map once a week (which, it should be said, is still much, much more
frequently than the OS and
The standards for acceptance by the casual user have grown enourmously.
A year ago, the main maps were re-rendered once a week and that was

Oh, come on! Minutely rendering of Mapnik is an recent development. The

Sometimes more than a week. And you can't say OSM hasn't come on since then
can you? It can't be that
Actually it would be more informative to only count new user accounts
