<div class="gmail_quote"><div>I second Richard's request for better how-to's (although I think an open wiki format can work), and would add reviewing/improving communication. I have this list on digest, and find even that difficult to keep up with. I can't image not having it on digest, being a newbie, and understanding what was going on here. Maybe a forum (<a href="http://help.openstreetmap.org/" target="_blank">http://help.openstreetmap.org/</a>, looks to be a start, but could use design help) or something similar would work better, or more defined, topic specific mailing list? </div>
<div> <br></div></div></blockquote></div><br>I agree with Richard on the need of better how-to's and I also agree on his view that they should be locked. I think it would be a big mistake to leave such tutorials opened to changes. <br>
I don't think a crowdsource approach is going to work for such tutorials. To get something that is consistent, it is better to get a small number of writers and then get it reviewed by a larger number of people. Getting too many people involved from the start would just not work in my view. <br>
I am not sure we want another mailing list, or forum or anything. It is death by mailing lists and committee. Getting someone to write up something and then publishing it on a website which can accept comments or "patchs" would be better in the end.<br>
