[Learnosm-coord] Outreachy Project Ideas and Mentors

[althio]

Forwarding to the Training WG.and LearnOSM.

@Traning @LearnOSM Please read below about:
> we would like to gather project ideas and possible mentors for an intern on a 3 month open source project, which can include coding, documentation or marketing.
> it would be better if project ideas for Outreachy are focused on documentation writing and marketing ventures, while coding projects for GSoC

I think "documentation writing" or a bit of coding are well suited in
the context of Training-LearnOSM. What do you think?

@Mhairi
I drafted some ideas related to LearnOSM in [2] but I am unsure of the
requested syntax in [3].

Hello everyone,

HOT will be enlisting as a participating organisation in the upcoming
Outreachy program (formerly known as the Outreach Program for Women)
[1] for the second time running!

Currently we would like to gather project ideas and possible mentors
for an intern on a 3 month open source project, which can include
coding, documentation or marketing.

The application for participating organisations opens on the 15th of
February, so brainstorming ideas from the community would be great.

Please take a look at the project idea proposal draft [2] and the HOT
Outreachy wiki page [3] for more information, and feel free to
contribute and add any potential ideas.

Although a coding project can be accepted, as this program is running
alongside the Google Summer or Code (25th May - 25th August), it would
be better if project ideas for Outreachy are focused on documentation
writing and marketing ventures, while coding projects for GSoC
