Talk:Largest geohash achievement

From Geohashing
Revision as of 01:13, 7 September 2010 by imported>Jiml (Reset records each year?)

It seems many (like me), aren't aware of this achievement. It's also not very well-defined. It seems you do not need to reach the coordinates, and that taking a virgin graticule would count, or taking a friend to one where before it was only done alone would count.

I'd like to change it to five or more participants and reaching the coordinates as requirements. I don't think this would conflict with the ones already listed there. Support? -Juventas 20:11, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

I am in favour. --Fasanen 20:45, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
I am favor of setting a minimum of 5 people, though I don't see why that is needed since the number is now up around 26. We might want to set the minimum based on the number of geohashers around like the sociable geohasher award. I don't favor requiring reaching the hashpoint, but I would encourage it.

Unless I misread, it's per graticule. Boston getting 26 wouldn't effect the other graticules. -Juventas 23:17, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

You didn't misread it: I missed that point. I added a tidbit of text to try to make it clearer. I think part of the problem is that more care is needed to distinguish between "worldwide" records and records for a single graticule. Jiml 17:44, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Should we perhaps do the global (or local ones, even) as "reset each year" to allow others to "win" this after the huge burst of people in 2008?? Jiml 01:13, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
