<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hello Everyone<br><br></div>I'm Vanya, from India. I'm interested in contributing to the OSM documentation as a part of the OPW project. I have been in touch with Kate, and with her help, been able to understand the OSM documentation better. <br><br></div>As Kate mentioned, the beginner's guide could be updated. Also, all beginners currently have to start with the OSM tasking manager. So I plan to start working on that.<br><div><br>I have gone through several other open source project documentations;
notably Django, QT, PHP, PostgreSQL among others; and have other ideas as to how the OSM documentation can be made more beginner friendly. I have listed my ideas as follows, and would love to hear your feedback on it:<br><br></div><div>1. The OSM beginner's page can have an FAQ section, where we can add some common issues faced by users and their solutions. <br><br>2.Adding user comments to the documentation. Postgre , PHP and a lot of
other open source projects allow users to comment below the official
pages detailing their own use cases, issues faced and the solutions
found. This might be a good idea and will help our community grow. We
can let the reader decide whether the user comments are displayed or
not.<br><br></div><div>I'm very excited to be a part of this community and hope I can make significant contributions to it. Any feedback from you all will be very helpful.<br><br></div><div>Thank you <br></div><div>Vanya Jauhal<br></div><div><br></div></div>
