[Learnosm-coord] Hello again Learnosm!

[Nick Allen]

Jessica,

Welcome back!  Really good to know that you're doing so well and that 
your time with LearnOSM may have helped.

I've pulled all of your updates into the site, and they are looking good.

Certainly you've identified one of our main problems - the very steep 
learning curve for anyone who wishes to help with the site but has no 
experience of using GitHub.  I've had a read through your guide & it 
looks very good to me - we've got at least one person trying to learn 
how to update the system & this should help a lot. I haven't changed any 
of the links etc.. so to find the start of your guide you still have to 
navigate to the docs folder - I guess you have plans on where & how the 
links will be and I don't want to interfere.

Looking forward to seeing more - and many thanks for what you have done 
so far!

Regards

Nick
