[OSM-newbies] Starting with JOSM and OpenStreetMap in general

[Rick Collins]

Maybe this is just my frustration with coming up the learning curve, 
but I don't feel like the process of adding my GPS data to the world 
map is documented very well.  I have a set of data points I collected 
along some streets here and I want to add them to the database.  I 
have the most recent version of JOSM (today since the version I 
downloaded two days ago is not current enough).  I also downloaded 
the most recent version of Java from Sun.  I converted my GPS data to 
a GPX file using GPSBabel.  I imported the GPX file to JOSM and can 
see the various points collected.  But that is where it ends.  The 
data points show on the screen, but I can't manipulate them in any 
way.  At this point I am stuck.  All of the JOSM documentation just 
seems to explain the controls without explaining the process.  I have 
looked in the wiki for OSM and don't see much there except that I 
should use JOSM.

What is the next step and where is this documented?
