Irhoborin

My low-effort bragpost for this week was created around 6 years ago. It is a bit more dystopian than usual. For the most part, my geofictions are neither dystopian nor utopian – rather, they just represent an alternate reality which is much like our own, full of both good and bad. This was an effort to create something a bit darker. It’s a refugee camp, in a poorly-defined (quite incomplete) war-torn country with serious social problems and poverty and a negligent government. Perhaps somewhat inspired by Somalia or 1970’s southeast Asia.

The Irhoborin refugee camp is vast: it has a population of tens of thousands, all in these tents in grids with additional tens of thousands in improvised shacks between and among and surrounding the gridded tent areas. I actually wrote up a fairly detailed “lore” for this place, at one time, and have an archived copy of it here.

Here’s a screenshot of the location.

April, 2023, User Statistics for OGF

Here is a detailed user summary data for April (I’ve decided to do these monthly). These are the results, ordered from highest number of objects touched to lowest number. I think number of objects touched (nodes, ways, relations) is a more meaningful way to evaluate user activity than changeset counts, which are highly variable depending on how individual users use available tools to connect to the database (iD vs JOSM, etc).
