In Belgium we also welcome new mappers, using Pascal Neis service and first a Google Doc (connected by IFTTT), now Ruben ( M!dgard ) is doing this with a PHP site he'll clean up one day to share (more info: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Collaborative_tool_for_welcoming_new_mappers ). The message is available here, in Dutch and French: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ekf8tDrCoBQ39mHfN3LgNeyWKbEDqwCsVH3nyp5b5gs We get about 13% response.
