Hello Everyone I'm Vanya, from India. I'm interested in contributing to the OSM documentation as a part of the OPW project. I have been in touch with Kate, and with her help, been able to understand the OSM documentation better.
As Kate mentioned, the beginner's guide could be updated. Also, all beginners currently have to start with the OSM tasking manager. So I plan to start working on that. I have gone through several other open source project documentations; notably Django, QT, PHP, PostgreSQL among others; and have other ideas as to how the OSM documentation can be made more beginner friendly. I have listed my ideas as follows, and would love to hear your feedback on it: 1. The OSM beginner's page can have an FAQ section, where we can add some common issues faced by users and their solutions. 2.Adding user comments to the documentation. Postgre , PHP and a lot of other open source projects allow users to comment below the official pages detailing their own use cases, issues faced and the solutions found. This might be a good idea and will help our community grow. We can let the reader decide whether the user comments are displayed or not. I'm very excited to be a part of this community and hope I can make significant contributions to it. Any feedback from you all will be very helpful. Thank you Vanya Jauhal
