[OSM-talk] Is there some existing detailed tutorial directed at complete newbies? Describing how to add various features?

From a pedagogic point of view I would consider that suboptimal, no to
mention that it would be endless.

For anybody that is going to contribute more than once (and iDs tutorial
does a good job of guiding through that), we want them to learn the
basic concepts of OSM and enable them to extend that to new situations.

That is different from a guided contribution model, say for example with
https://osmybiz.osm.ch/ <https://osmybiz.osm.ch/#/19/47.15976/8.36968>
which is preferable for people that don't want to contribute to OSM in
general but just want to add and maintain a specific object.
