Registered users, that is. The number of accounts that have contributed to the map is around 10% last time I had the stats.

You are right Andy but the no of trackpoint follow the user count so you sure that it's just 10%?

Depends what you count as a contributor, is fixing a street name enough?
99% of edits have been made by approx 12,500 accounts... some people are responsible for more than one account...

Yes so people might create an account just to upload GPX or similar but it doesn't seem so:

Of the 10 user shown to be living within 1000 meters of my home only two (including myself) are continally contributing to OSM.
4 of the rest have just registered without contributing anything
1 stop in 2008
3 have made just 1-2 contributions in 2009.
With such just 10 users it would be incorrect to call this a reliable statistic of the ratio of active to inactive users, but I do think that the OSM statistics should not include users that have contributed nothing or very little.
I doubt that there are more than about 15000 active contributers to OSM but I could be wrong.
