<p>As we zero in on details, I'd like to emphasize the overall goal here: this is to create a one pager that helps anyone new get started mapping. It's what you'd link to from a sentence like:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Join the OpenStreetMap and <a href="http://osmlab.github.io/welcome-osm/">get started mapping</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is some of what's currently being done:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners%27_guide">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners%27_guide</a></li>
<li><a href="http://learnosm.org/en/beginner/introduction/">http://learnosm.org/en/beginner/introduction/</a></li>
<li><a href="http://openstreetmap.us/start-mapping/">http://openstreetmap.us/start-mapping/</a></li>
<li><a href="http://osmlab.github.io/welcome-osm/">http://osmlab.github.io/welcome-osm/</a></li>
</ul><p>none is ideal.</p>
<p>The page proposed in this PR would be used:</p>
<ul>
<li>When any user signs up, as a replacement for much of the content of the text-only and outdated welcome email</li>
<li>To link to OSM where the intent is to get people get started with mapping (could be from an edit button from any OSM map out there for instance).</li>
</ul>
