I'm not aware of any study on this aspect but it's clear that each time
there is a major new source of open data that those who contribute a lot get
spurned on to contribute more (that is spend more time mapping). That's
certainly the impact in my case. The OS data hasn't been a particularly big
influence for me, BING imagery and ONS postcode data are probably the two
biggest single useful sources that have spurred me on and I have no doubt
that the availability of BING imagery is the single most important change
for the project.

Subject: [Talk-GB] Impact of OS
Is there a study out there of the impact that the OS release made on OSM?
Something like, an analysis of change in coverage by county would be great.
I would also be interested in seeing similar studies for other major changes
/ improvements caused by external sources (I'm thinking imagery updates,
out-of-copyright maps) etc.
