[OSM-talk] Re : Why do we have so many registered users with zero edits ?

[Christian Quest]

The flossmanual is a better beginner guide, I'm sending a link to it in my
welcome message to new contributors in France (it has been translated in
french)
learnosm is another one to consider too... (french translation available
too)


Kort is a very nice approach. Wheelmap styled apps are also easy to use.
In fact, as long as you don't have to deal with topology/geometry, the
required level to add more details to existing data is very low and opens
contribution to a much broader audience... then you can enter the "editors"
world with iD

I've also seen several people afraid of "breaking" things, and I thought of
some global geometry lock/unlock to allow contributions only at tag level
or switch to a tag+geometry level.
