We would love to have more people contributing.  We currently have
a few people who are active in mapping cycle networks, but more
people are always welcome.

Can I suggest that you do this on the list anwyay, so that you
have the benefit of multiple persons giving you answers,
correcting each other and things like that?

Maybe if it's about helping you how to work with the editors it
could be a good thing that you organise a "workshop" and invite
someone to come and explain it to a few people.

Also note that we probably can't really give legal advice, since
I doubt there are any lawyers here.  But we can tell you how we
understand the legal situation.
