I never got any rules written. I wrote enough code to get to the point where I needed rules, and then couldn't come up with anything that I thought would be reasonable! > The issue I'm trying to address is this: people who sign up for OSM & then > make 0 edits.

This site ought to be easier to use, but once it is, it would be a good place to point people. http://ae.osmsurround.org/ae/index# For example, if you're not logged in, it should say "Step 1: Login." It doesn't. It lets you create a POI, and then says "Oh, you didn't log in, you have to login first." Then once you do that, you lose the information about your first POI. We need a (if not that, then another) website in which every step is downhill, culminating with people successfully making their first edit to OSM, and then being told how to make their next edit. No stumbling points, no uphill climb. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
