I think it is nice to encourage everybody to meet many other geohashers, and I think 10 would be a fair number, because according to [[Meetup graph|this page]] not more than 13 (can I count?) users might be able to claim it right away, all others would still have to go for it, but I wouldn't mind setting the number to 15 or 20 if that finds more support (though not higher, because there are very few geohashers in some areas). So please, tell me what you think! --[[User:HiroProtagonist|HiroProtagonist]] 21:51, 30 January 2010 (UTC) | I think it is nice to encourage everybody to meet many other geohashers, and I think 10 would be a fair number, because according to [[Meetup graph|this page]] not more than 13 (can I count?) users might be able to claim it right away, all others would still have to go for it, but I wouldn't mind setting the number to 15 or 20 if that finds more support (though not higher, because there are very few geohashers in some areas).

This got me the idea:
- Handshake: Perhaps some sort of achievement for most people met? Many of the late Boston crew might be tempted to return to Geohashing to claim it ;) This seems different than Kevin Bacon (above), but somehow related... --Thomcat 21:03, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
