Hi Mikel<div><br></div><div>Yes, th iD editor is a good step in the right direction.</div><div>But even given that this tool is well made and self explanatory there is still room for better introductory material.</div><div>
The main entry page [1] for example is not very appealing, little bit outdated and lacks pictures and video material.</div><div>To me it would be worthwile to consider dedicating a (OSMF? GSoC?) project to this.</div><div>

You mean that such a survey would be too spammy ? Or that the users
would realize that they have a useless account that they should
better close ?<br>
