Hi. The following may be outside your time and interest
scope, but I am<br>
interested in hearing from anybody who is willing to nibble on
my<br>
requests. I have never actually done any mapping work, but
joined this<br>
list and lurked with the hope of starting to learn about the
tools and<br>
issues.<br>

It is great to get your students involved with mapping, and
give them something practical to work with such as OSM.<br>
<br>
Though, I suggest first you try some mapping yourself and get
more familiar with how things work. You could start out with
Potlatch (edit tab), but given your more technical
background,I think you would do well with JOSM.<br>

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll start poking away at them.<br>
<br>
Actually, I've just started working on the local map and am
currently working my way through things like getting stumped on how
to create a pond, etc. I suspect that reading all available
documentation might be a good start. :-)<br>
