Hi, This is my first time posting to a mailing list so sorry if I mess 
it up.

I just found out about the open street map project and love the idea. So 
far I have just been tracing buildings from the bing satellite images 
and adding info to locations. Here is some of my work 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/-34.94778/138.63054 Username is 
Qwertii. What I was looking to find out is what should I get started 
with and where would I best be spending my time? I don't want to spent 
ages drawing out things that could just be done with a simple script. 
What things should I work on? Are there any pages I should read as a new 
user?

Any advice would be awesome.
