No need to worry about raising it, I think it's useful feedback, and 
important that we try to sort out these little things that could 
potentially turn people away when they want to contribute. Making the 
path to first points as easy as possible seems important to me at least, 
as it will impact highly on our "retention" rate for prospective OSMers
