That said, it would also be awesome to see a rendering of the movements of OSM mappers (as derived from uploaded GPS traces) plotted on a world map :-) I wonder how many people you'd see active at once - surely the activity much be fairly constant these days!

It could be relatively easy to map the GPX traces "in real time" if the OSM database kept track of the timestamp of each point. I don't think they do...
