Million Contributors!, Introducing OSM's New JavaScript Editor, and OSM
Editions of Year 2012 via Slashgeo.org by Satri on 1/8/13

Every frequent Slashgeo reader knows about OpenStreetMap, and now, the
project reached another important milestone: 1 million
OpenStreetMappers.

 From the blog entry: "OpenStreetMap has just passed 1 million users!
That's a million people who have signed up on openstreetmap.org to join
in with creating a free map of the world. At first glance you may think
that OpenStreetMap is a map. Those who know more will tell you that
it's actually a database; a flexible editable repository of free
geospatial data. But above all OpenStreetMap is a community. A massive
community in which people like you and me come together collaborate and
help build this thing... and now there's a million of us!"

To ease contributions even more, they also introduced the alpha version
of the new OpenStreetMap editor, codenamed iD (screenshot below). And
for its beauty, see the short animation on OpenStreetMap: A Year of
Edits 2012.
