@b42 Yeah this is a much complained about problem. See also: How do you display only local edits in the changelog? and How do I see the history for my area?

In the mean time, I’m going to look at adding the “big” marker back in somehow … it was removed to save space, but I think we need something like that for the time being.

Unfortunately, the tab is still rather useless to me — most of the edits shown do not concern any point in the current rectangle (but are listed anyway, probably because the area in which they were done overlaps with the shown area). In some previous version, most of such edits were marked as “big”, which at least gave some clue that I should ignore them. Would it be possible to only show edits that actually touch some point in the currently shown area, or at least filter out the “big” edits? (The better question probably is, where should I complain about that?:)) Example of such an area: http://osm.org/go/0Jv1v6V1

I came across the Liberia FLOW project sometime back and I’m wondering if you have any leads on anyone who has a similar dataset (water distribution points) for Kenya.
