Good stuff, and a positive way forward. I see already that there's
other people helping out with the pages you are writing.

In general I encourage everyone where possible to work on improving
existing pages (instead of or in addition to starting new pages). The
art of good documentation writing also involves the (often forgotten)
art of figuring out how to say the same thing more clearly using fewer
words!

Illustrations are also important, and fairly easy to get started with.

Keep up the good work,

Cheers,
Andy

[OSM-talk] Readme for Potlatch

[Gert Gremmen]

Following the invitations of many of you to contribute in addition

to criticisms to Potlatch I decided to start with the help pages. 

 

I have added some readme data section to the Potlatch help page, showing
some

general concepts of OSM necessary for starting.

 

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potlatch/readme

 

 

I am almost new to wiki, and the formatting was done

by imitation and trial and error.

I wanted to make a table to add some graphics but did not succeed (yet).

 

 

I will also "attack"  the general instructions soon, so please

read with me and correct, add and/or suggest better formatting.

 

As I am almost new to Potlatch, just as many newbies,

 I will make the same beginners faults, and may possibly

able to address these early.

 

Don't hesitate to rephrase my not-native English, if you

know better, but keep in mind, that the simple

English I may use may be more helpful

for strangers than the fully grammatically correct

english of natives.

 

This is a work in progress.

 

Suggestions welcome, thanks.
