Looking back at my first steps in editing OSM: when I subscribed I was presented with a "who is mapping in your area" type of info. I selected a nearby experienced and recently-active mapper and contacted him via the OSM message system. He offered me, and I happily accepted him as my tutor. I would promote the same approach today. And would suggest to consider screen-sharing sessions as an additional very efficient means for such tutoring sessions. OSM is not only open geo data, it's also a community. Volker Italy
