<div dir="auto">Looking back at my first steps in editing OSM: when I subscribed I was presented with a "who is mapping in your area" type of info. I selected a nearby experienced and recently-active mapper and contacted him via the OSM message system. He offered me, and I happily accepted him as my tutor. I would promote the same approach today. And would suggest to consider screen-sharing sessions as an additional very efficient means for such tutoring sessions. OSM is not only open geo data, it's also a community. <div dir="auto">Volker</div><div dir="auto">Italy</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, 22 Feb 2020, 13:04 , <<a href="mailto:talk-request@openstreetmap.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">talk-request@openstreetmap.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Send talk mailing list submissions to<br>

For anybody that is going to contribute more than once (and iDs tutorial<br>
does a good job of guiding through that), we want them to learn the<br>
basic concepts of OSM and enable them to extend that to new situations.<br>
<br>
That is different from a guided contribution model, say for example with<br>
<a href="https://osmybiz.osm.ch/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://osmybiz.osm.ch/</a> <<a href="https://osmybiz.osm.ch/#/19/47.15976/8.36968" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://osmybiz.osm.ch/#/19/47.15976/8.36968</a>><br>
which is preferable for people that don't want to contribute to OSM in<br>
general but just want to add and maintain a specific object.<br>

I expect that endless part may be<br>
solved by generating it automatically<br>
from iD and Vespucci presets.<br>

It is intended to be tutorial for the first edit.<br>
<br>
I remember that I was quite confused <br>
during making first edits.<br>
