[HOT] LearnOSM is being updated and reorganized

[Tom Taylor]

You may have noticed changes in LearnOSM, thanks to Nick Allen and our 
intern Anwar. This is part of a broader effort to reorganize LearnOSM to 
make it easier to bring new users on stream while supporting more 
experienced mappers.

The impetus for this work has been the need to train thousands of new 
volunteers when a major HOT activation comes along, as well as providing 
support for mampathons. Nevertheless, the intended scope of the work is 
to cover the needs of the whole OSM community.

HOT has established a "vision team" within the HOT Training WG, tasked 
with defining the structure and content of the target LearnOSM.
We will bring the draft output of that team to the broader community 
when it is available.

Those who want to be involved right now can take the following steps,
