Hi everyone, Has anybody done any work to date on condensing a user's changes (as derived from planet.osm diffs) into friendly statements such as:
- John Doe has added a node at 51.023, -0.012 - John Doe has edited 5 ways near 51.023, -0.012 - John Doe has edited the highway 'Whitehall' near London - John Doe has added 6 pubs near Elephant & Castle - John Doe has added lots of points of interest near Southwark - etc. This would be useful for the user profile pages and for feeds of user activity that could tie nicely into activity stream type services that could help promote the project to a wider audience (assuming they generalised changes nicely enough and didn't overload with information). Tieing it into the concept of changesets may help reduce the amount of information, and allow the user to summarise it themself. In its simplest form (e.g. the first one), it wouldn't be too difficult to pull the data from the planet diffs, but beyond that I suspect it would require quite some processing, simplification, reverse geocoding, etc. to get it into a nice form. Just wondering if anyone has looked into doing this sort of thing at all yet?
