Some time ago I thought "let's be realistic" and that iD, our go-to editor for newbie mappers, could show some task-oriented mini-tutorials. Like "I want to map a / change..." so it would show relevant remarks (that is, like "When drawing buildings, do not place the outline on the roof, move it to the base. Remember to rectify corners if the building if applicable" and so on). A large quantity of mappers are, as the HDYC site ranks them, "hit-and-run mappers" that only map 5 or 20 edits and get bored - or just OSM is superbly mapped in their area (: If you can't beat them (iD), join them...
