A few months ago the Dutch community started sending out a welcome message to every new mapper with some general info and pointers to useful websites and wikis.
This helps a lot in making the new mappers feel more at home and make them more aware of the community.
Maybe and idea?
Here is the link that will show you all new mappers in your country (replace Countryname with your country of interest)
