Stats

Places to find information about OpenStreetMap's database...

Stats	The main statistics page, showing number of users, amount of data, etc.
Data stats	Normally automatically updated every day, and show the number of ways, nodes, relations, etc. in the database. That page also shows the leaderboards for people uploading data. There are also other statistics at QA. There is a historical dump of this full data going back to 2007 and some basic data going back to 2005 here
Server stats	Showing the disk, memory, I/O, bandwidth stats of each of the OpenStreetMap servers
Wiki stats	showing the access statistics etc for the wiki pages. Please note: Stats distorted from 12/Oct/2007 due to Proxy-Cache running in front of webserver. See also Special:Statistics
