What I've found easiest is to encourage people to check on areas
they know well, like where they currently live. Armed with that and
maybe some imagery, they might have some basis to make edits. They
will be fairly careful since it's an area they care about.<br>

The issue I'm trying to address is this: people who sign up for
OSM & then make 0 edits. Why? Is it because they cannot find
the editor? Is it because they don't know what to edit?</div>

<div class="gmail_quote">I'm trying to hit the latter question,
which is where I think I'm trying to do something different from
what Robin & Serge discuss - there *are* people who don't
know what OSM offers them that interests them. They haven't
decided to go out for a walk yet, they haven't decided they're
going to test the waters. OSM can be intimidating. How do we
make it less so? </div>
