[OSM-talk-ie] Does OSM have a similar concept as the "Organisation" from Mappilary?

Hi Bianca.

Welcome to OSM! From an OSM level, no. There are no “organisations”. 
Many people would really want to do it, and some people are working on 
adding that functionality to the OSM website code (“Microcosms”) but 
that hasn't been finished.

It's great that you want to help do a project. Please keep us informed. 
The OSM community has written some guidelines for how to successfully 
run an organisated editing project:
