[OSM-talk] Documentation on Editing Relations

[Graham Jones]

Hi,
Thank you all for your help -  "Download Object" was the fundamental thing I
had missed.

I had kind of hoped that you would just point me to the nice new user
instruction page on the Wiki that I had not spotted.

I'll have a look at improving it, but it is not an insignificant job.   How
about if we divide the basic documentation into chunks (like a mapping
party, but not as good for you), and different people volunteer to update a
different aspect to bring it up to date in terms of software, and "custom
and practice"?   I am happy to co-ordinate, but will struggle to do it all.

I think this would be a big help in encouraging wider participation in the
project.

Could even be a "Project of the Week"?

Regards


Graham.
