If you ever need a captive audience of new mappers to test training materials on, I think the Missing Maps events will be able to provide. We can happily organise some specific focus groups for this or use the mapathons, which will be much more regular going forward....
Just let me know...

Hi,
I agree that more is needed. Based upon the problems I was finding when validating, I've started to produce a guide https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Tallguy/Thoughts_%26_ideas/Beginners_guide but it is at an early stage, and requires updating now that TM2 is out. I feel that there is a gap between 'how to map', and what you actually need to do to start to map for HOT. If we can produce a guide that covers how to map your first square showing how to avoid the common mistakes, maybe we can stop most of them.
http://mapgive.state.gov/ have a very good guide to mapping with iD
As a temporary thing, I've linked both off of https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Tasking_Manager but the main wiki on the Tasking manager needs updating now we have TM2.
My initial thought, is that TM2's release gives the perfect time to update the wiki. The wiki is really under the wrong heading - it's main name is 'OSM_Tasking_Manager, but it deals with a number of things including JOSM offsets & validating.
It would be good if there was some discussion & a consensus as to what goes where, and how we are going to get it there.
Regards

Hi Rafael,
Sounds like a great idea. The InaSAFE project uses Transifex not just for translating the software but also for translating the documentation. The one issue in mind holding back the switch over is that LearnOSM is in many languages now, so I would see the steps as follows.
1. Update the English documentation and get it into Transifex.2. Retranslate documentation from other languages.
This would be painful certainly the first time, but then in the future if the documentation was updated on the sections that were changed would show up as in need of translation. Is that the method you see?
Some of the HOT Indonesia team can speak to the issues with translating documentation in Transifex. The biggest issue I think (correct me if I'm wrong team) is if the "master" documentation language has a lot of tweaks. Meaning it works best if there is a "release" of the documentation and then the translations start.
Best,
-Kate

Hi all:
I wonder if we can gather some people interested in boosting the
LearnOSM project. Now that the new Tasking Manager is out, it could be
really nice to improve the learning/training materials. In my opinion,
there are at least two points that need to improve:
1) Translation through git is not a good idea, as it is very
complicated for most of the people. Would it be possible to carry the
translation through Transifex, like with the Tasking Manager and uMap,
for example? Images would be left aside of the translation, but there
can be an smart way to deal with that.
2) Reorganize the material, and probably create some more.
Cheers,
Rafael.
