[OSM-talk] Demo editing to OSM data

[Kate Chapman]

Hi Peter,

Why wouldn't you just teach them how to edit to add real information?
I can't speak for the whole community, but I think that is the best
way to teach them.  There are workshops held all over the world where
people immediately make edits to OpenStreetMap.

If you need help with materials, there are many out there to get people started.

Best,

-Kate
