Hi,

I'm seeing new mappers around Metro manila and other areas lately.
Anybody here welcoming them?
I stopped doing it when I was labeled a spammer by another
contributor.  Maybe my message of welcoming and invitation is too
"spammish".
Can we craft a better "non-spammish" message for new mappers?

Here's what I wrote before, feel free to improve.

Hi! Just to want to say welcome to OSM Philippines!

Little by little we are getting more contributors for the Philippines
particularly in Metro Manila and adjacent provinces, more roads are
added every week. I see your adding data, thank you for your
contributions!

We have a wikipage for coordinating things a bit:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/WikiProject_Philippines

Also our mailinglist is:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-ph

Please add your name in the wiki and where you intend to to focus mapping.

If you need help feel free to send us a message in talk-ph mailinglist.

cheers,

maning
