OSM has way too many ways for discussions to be hidden from the typical mapper (should this be on one of a huge number of mail lists, on the help website, the forum website, slack, or ???).

I feel the same. For better or worse Slack is where a large portion of US mappers stay in touch these days. Lots of good discussion and community building going on there. All are welcome! Also, for the record, the OSM US slack is not hidden, it's first in the list in the OSM Community Index for the US: <a href="https://openstreetmap.community/?map=39.29265,-93.81878&zoom=3.40">https://openstreetmap.community/?map=39.29265,-93.81878&zoom=3.40</a></div><div><br></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space"> <br><div><div>On Oct 8, 2021, at 9:55 AM, Mike Thompson <<a href="mailto:miketho16@gmail.com" target="_blank">miketho16@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">It seems that most of this conversation will exclude those who don't<br>
