Hi Andrew,

My local community would love to have move people involved in OpenStreetMap
- with or without notepad.

We are mostly a bunch of "on the ground mappers" so we lack is someone with
the skills to write scripts that help us identify problems in OSM data and
help us to make use of new exciting third party datasets (e.g. by building
tools to help us merge/"conflate" this data).

Unfortunately OSM is not good at attracting software developers but we
could really do with lots more devs :-)

Best,
Rob
