Hi, Steve: I would say myself that an experienced mapper is someone who is sure s/he can do the task for which s/he is required to contribute. You can be experienced in manual importing, or in mapping commons outside villages for helicopter landing, etc. It depends. If you still feel in doubt, you can do one task and ask for other experienced mappers working in the same project to validate your data before proceeding further with more tasks.
Hope I answered your question. Cheers, Rafael.
