Thank you very much for your kind responces. As you toold, I made an account and did some edits to the map in my neighborhood. OpenStreetMap editor is a really great and interesting thing. I think I will be very joyful to work with OSM. I wrote a blog post to inform the other people who are not aware of OSM http://jananiswebblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/test-1.html I also have the experience of using software like "ArcGIS" and "ILWIS". but this is so much interesting...
Now I am trying the command line tools in OSM. can anyone tell me, what are the other things I should study? Thank you very much.
