Hallo Nyamuk,

welcome to the world of OSM. Good to see that you are already using/trying
JOSM, that's what many experienced users here are using as well. There is
some Potlatch knowledge available as well.

There are a number of "projects" going on:

- Import of addresses & buildings in Brussels
- Import of data from De Lijn (busstops, busroutes)
- There are some ideas to use the data of AGIV CRAB to "import" the
housenumbers in Flanders
- Work on protected monuments
- Walking & cycling networks (field surveys required)
- For car navigation I would suggest max speeds, lane information, access
rights (all of which requires field surveys)

I suggest that you pick a topic in which you are interested and look in
your local neigborhood first whether the data can be improved. Please note
that there are many possible maps, so depending on the topic you might want
to consult a different map.

So let us know in what you are interested, perhaps where you live (if you
want to disclose that) so you might get in touch with someone in you
neighborhood

regards

m (from Reet)
