[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Hi from Kidderminster

[Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists)]

Welcome Gavin,

Kiderminster is pretty much a blank canvas at the moment and I don't think
it has any existing mappers other than those who have passed through and
added the main thoroughfares. It's a place we could help get kick stared and
give you a little support, and focus for what time you might have available,
if we could do a Saturday mapping party there.

If you are able to come along to next weeks social that's great, we can give
you any help in getting stared and properly welcome you into the OSM
community.

btw, if you want to see who has already edited the map in yoru interest area
get yourself a free account at http://www.itoworld.com and use the OSM
mapper. With this tool you can see who mapped and when and even get in
contact with users via the OSM website. Currently the top Kiderminster
editor usernames are:

	Richard
	Steve Hosgood
	blackadder
	burto
	Paul The Archivist
	RichardB
	xybot
	Jenuk1985
	Ron Wellsted
	Gregory Williams

Of the above I think almost without exception these users have been passing
though. The possible exceptions being Steve Hosgood and burto, neither of
which I know. However  Steve Hosgood's edits appear to be for the Severn
Valley Railway, so he could easily have been a holiday visitor to the area.

Do ask here if you have any questions, we are a small mailing list and
someone will be pleased to help.

Cheers

Andy (blackadder)
