<div dir="ltr">In Belgium we also welcome new mappers, using Pascal Neis service and first a Google Doc (connected by IFTTT), now Ruben ( M!dgard ) is doing this with a PHP site he'll clean up one day to share (more info: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Collaborative_tool_for_welcoming_new_mappers">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Collaborative_tool_for_welcoming_new_mappers</a> ).

</span>yes, I also send much more messages to new users than get replied by them (maybe 5-10%). Typically, when you see by the editing quantity and frequency that a new user is really fascinated by his/her new discovery, it is much more probable that you get a reply (more than 50%). The percentages are estimated/ gut feelings, but I could look them up if that's interesting ;-)<br>
