Hi Gert
perhaps onboarding new mappers can also contribute to the river
labeling initiative you've set up:

There is a huge amount of stuff to map in rural areas.
1. Install java en download JOSM
2. Install the WMS plug-in
3. Choose a rural area somewhere, not to big and download data
4. play around and study JOSM for an hour or so, ask questions if you
need to
5. Install WMS layers "best aerial" and TOPO 50K
6. JOSM may shift layers so as to align them, to already avalaible
data : the topo map below is less then 100 meter off however.
7. compare and map rivers, hamlets, roads (most tracks anyway) land
slidings , important buildings mountain peaks
8. The tope map gives you a wealth of names and places and mountains
peaks to map
9. The areal pictures show you roads, buildings and rivers (depends on
available resolution in your area)
10. Study, compare and add missing items
11. Report the area you are working on to this list (topo map
reference lines ?) to avoid duplicates

Well you also might map using the potlatch editor, but you won't have
2 layers to switch to,
and while potlatch is easier to start with ..... JOSM will do much
better and accurate mapping,
and has some features (like Q : make a building or area square-angled)
and add-node-on-the fly
You should see me mapping rivers / areas with that, that you will miss
very much.
Oh, do not forget to connect roads to roads, other wise a router may
never find them.
Loose roads are of no use .
Well, see for yourself.
