Hi Richard,
I have dabbled in map corrections only lightly, and I enjoyed the
experience. I still consider myself a newby, though. OSM did help me to
navigate from Poland to The Netherlands during a holiday, so I remain a fan.
I have been following this newsletter for some time, and it gave me some
understanding of what is possible in OSM. I want to thank you for your
dedication, and though I am slightly sad that the newsletter will be no
more, I cannot really justify its existence. It did give me pleasure.
Greetings,
Fanie van der Walt

Hi all,
Usage of the [email protected] mailing list, set up in 2007 to
provide help to new users, has dwindled to almost nothing. There were
no posts in September, October, November, or December.
Generally we now have better places to provide help to new users -
principally http://help.openstreetmap.org/ , but also national forums
and mailing lists. There is also more OSM documentation than was once
the case.
So that new users don't seek help in a little-used backwater, but
instead go to a place where help is more likely to be found, I'm
proposing (as list admin) to close the list to subscriptions and to
posting. The list archives would be retained.
If you have a compelling reason why the list should not be closed,
please speak up now. You'll need to volunteer to be the admin though. ;)
cheers
Richard
