By changing the order of data release there would be a few days more to edit / add some changes by users in OSM between your release of MCA files and your new collection of the planet.osm.bz2 file.
Hard to tell. I would suggest:
1. criteria: download statistics,
2. criteria: countries with (above average) strong tourism; for Europe this would mean:
Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Bulgaria
3. Germany - all parts, since many users and OSM editors use it.
4. countries with large (absolute, relative) data increase during last updates.
For me, personally, as an user + editor?
Slovenia,
Croatia.
Hi Martin
If it's possible to create a count of the number of users downloading each map area after each update, then process the next batch of updates based the ranking of highest number of downloads to the lowest.
In other words , the area with highest number of users has the highest priority. That way you're responding to the demand of users in each map area in a fair way ( in my humble opinion ). If you satisfy the greatest number of users it is likely that your software will be recommended to more new users. I think it would also increase the number of users involved with the free Open Street Mapping project.
Thanks and keep up the good work. Even if other users don't agree with what I've wrtten above, they must all agree with my final point.

Hi Dalo
I agree with your 1st criteria but the others are surely based on opinions and feelings. By using the download stats would rank the maps with the highest demand first and would therefore satisfy the largest group of users. if that means that I personally have to wait longer to receive my updates so be it.
Alternatively, if it must be based on opinions then the maps should be processed based on the results of the Eurovision Song Contest ??????? (Only Joking)

@mdx, I think that the data increase during the last two or three (already processed) updates is a sufficient indicator. Many countries are also "recovering" from the license change.
and @asgalk, processing of countries with small .mca files (and a significant data increase) should also get a priority and should be processed at least as often as any others, if not more.
