<div dir="ltr"><div>By 'collect some relevant info' I mean 'document your findings from asking questions on Talk lists and poking round the wiki'. Before constructing any grand new project pages, I would add a section to a relevant UK page.

The <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:route%3Dcanoe">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:route%3Dcanoe</a> caught my eye as I didn't know that canoe routes were signed/plotted.</div><div><br></div><div>My best experience with the wiki comes from writing <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_the_United_Kingdom">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_the_United_Kingdom</a> By writing up the situation in the UK and working-in-the-open on a personal project to locate wind farms, I have found other people who were also interested, and it has led (partially) to the solar quarterly project.<br><div><br></div><div>The OSMWiki is organised in places, chaotic in other places, and frustrating in many.....but it is *ours*.
