Is anyone aware of an introductory video (in English) that contains 
_just_ information about "how to join one way to another"?

I know that there are lots of Potlatch introductory videos of varying 
vintage, but it might be nice to be able to link to one that just shows 
how to address the "unjoined ways" problem.

If I send hello-and-welcome messages to new mappers I usually do it 
because after a couple of weeks they're still creating unjoined ways, 
either because no-one's told them that ways should join, or because they 
haven't figured out how to join ways together.

If you're extending a way the blue area of text at the bottom of the 
screen does say "click way to make junction", but there's no equivalent 
prompt if you're dragging a node (e.g. over a way), and something that 
showed the different node types (i.e. red with a black circle around it 
== joined).

Cheers,
Andy
