Hi all, The (for now informal) Welcome Working Group met earlier today / yesterday on #osm-strategic. It was fun and useful. The purpose of this group is to retain more mappers after they sign up by providing a better welcome experience. We are not looking at the user experience of the editors, but rather at the social aspects as well as documentation. We are still figuring out what the scope should be and how to proceed, and we could use your help. We plan to meet weekly to gain and keep momentum. The next meeting will be on Dec 20 at 1800 UTC on #osm-strategic. Whether you're new at OSM yourself or a seasoned mapper with ideas and some time to spare, we'd love to see you.
The WG page is http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Mvexel/Welcome_Working_Group - you can find all the details as well as reports and logs of previous meetings there. Please forward this to local lists as you deem fit & appropriate. The group will communicate in English. Happy mapping, -- Martijn van Exel http://oegeo.wordpress.com/ http://openstreetmap.us/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
