Difference between revisions of "Expedition 10000"

Revision as of 16:12, 1 April 2015

Some time this spring or summer, the geohashing community will be celebrating its 10,000th geohash expedition. Who knew, seven years ago, that it would take this long? (rimshot)

All seriousness aside, I'll will be developing a gratuitous ribbon for the geohasher(s) who participate in the momentous expedition. As of 2015-03-05, there were 9,691 expeditions in the wiki, as well as about 30 "new reports" that were created but never revisited. I'll be tracking when we reach the threshold; if there are multiple geohashes that day, then all geohashers that day will get the ribbon (though I will figure out the exact #10,000 based on the time the expedition report is created.)

My methodology is:

The number of expedition report in the Category:Expeditions category.
Grind through Category:New report entries. I'll nudge as many as I can into either "planning" or "expedition".

I may also put together a "One Percenter" merit badge for geohashers who have done 100 or more expeditions, although Category:Addicted to geohashing kinda covers that :-)

Feel free to leave any questions or suggestions on the talk page.
