The real core question is: will you have newbies or not?<br></blockquote><div>I believe we will be more on the newbie side. There was a Maptime meet with an introduction to OSM in November, which generated a couple new contributors who will hopefully show up. So I'm personally aiming at showing people who already know what OSM is how to do non-armchair mapping. Actually improving data quality is only a secondary goal. If things go well, we can have follow-up meetings that focus more on the later. But who knows who's actually going to show up.</div><div><br></div><div>It just occurred to me that I have no clue how to edit with iD.

(I've tried both and there are likely an even number of pros and cons<br>
for both).<br></blockquote><div>I would have gone with the former option but see how the other option could work too.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the input.</div></div></div>
