Hi Jorieke, Thanks for the feedback. I like copy paste, so I will copy your questions and answer them one by one.
- "now the oldest member is on top, maybe it is interesting to put the newest member on top?" Good idea: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Aph66Gc0kPLddEhoSmhUc0Fqbm5HeFk2ZXRMVTFzMUE&single=true&gid=2&output=html - "is there a possibility we can extend this list with old users? I think this can be interesting to have an overview of all the Belgian mappers." I'm sure Pascal Neis will be able to provide such a list. (I might be in able to do so in a couple of months). I think he uses something like 'main area of activity' to define your country. The question is, what are you going to do with it? You get a bulk list of users, but you still have to send them a message one by one. - "are mappers who are creating just one node in Belgium also included in this list? How is it exactly working?" There's a neis explanation (pun very much intended) on this webpage: http://neis-one.org/2012/04/where-are-the-new-openstreetmap-contributors/ In short: yes. If your first changeset is in Belgium, you are Belgian, no matter how small the change. Of course, you can do a manual check using the HDYC or userlink. Which I do, to educatedly guess their language. There was one user with just a node, but he changed the name of a shop, so that's a realy useful contribution. - "will you add this document somehow to the Belgian wiki?" Tell me where, and I will do it. Then again, it's a wiki, so go ahead and copy-paste my diary post anywhere you see fit. - "In your welcoming message, you wrote something like "type on google wiki OpenStreetMap and what you want to map". I think it is better to point here to the "help tab" on osm.org" My welcoming message is very much my personal take on what's important to know. From may 1st I will be living in a motor home, somewhere deep in countryside South America, so do write your own take on it and start sending it around! I thought about following your suggestion, but I checked. And Google (unfortunately) wins: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?search=garbage+bin&title=Special%3ASearch(correct answer: no 5) versus https://www.google.be/search?q=wiki+openstreetmap+garbage+bin&oq=wiki+openstreetmap+garbage+bin&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i64l3.6154j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8(correct answer no1). I'm still using Google Maps in those few uses where it's till better than OSM. Please don't burn me at the stake :) And two questions for the rest of you: anyone has 10 minutes a week available to follow up? It is but a copy-paste affair. I would hate to see this die on may 2nd. I need someone with decent (preferably native) French to write a welcome message too. I don't intend to welcome anyone in French with hair upon, if you know what I mean. Joost
