Agreed that social features will be increasingly important to get and keep more people engaged with OSM, and forge better intra-community ties, as we continue to grow at increased pace. We will be discussing social features in OSM at SOTM US extensively, there is a lot of ideas around this and there is momentum to start working on implementing some of them. I will summarize some of these ideas in my talk on data driven communities on Sunday afternoon. Hopefully to be followed by some actual work on this on the sprint days following.
