Re: [OSM-talk] Is there some existing detailed tutorial directed at complete newbies? Describing how to add various features?

I, too, have noticed this "apparent deprecation" of the importance of our wiki and would like to see it remedied. Not only do I find the wiki drop-dead easy to search and "read up on" how to do something in OSM (as in "this is how we already do it" or "this is how far along we are on a

The OSM World Discord server usually has people on that can answer basic questions https://discord.gg/q6HnfNZ Doing the iD tutorial teaches the basics and is easy to learn. One can learn the basic tags by using the presets found using the iD search box. Tagging a basic individual object can be

Re: [OSM-talk] Is there some existing detailed tutorial directed at complete newbies? Describing how to add various features?

From a pedagogic point of view I would consider that suboptimal, no to mention that it would be endless. For anybody that is going to contribute more than once (and iDs tutorial does a good job of guiding through that), we want them to learn the basic concepts of OSM and enable them to extend

I tried to do that from a corner case: begginer guide for cross-country skier: http://www.opensnowmap.org/iframes/how-to-fra.html It reminds me I still have to translate it in English. This is not exactly what you are looking for, but it can give some ideas. Yves Le 22 février 2020 09:23:35

Isn't this the job of the editing software (incl it's presets)? If there's a search box and the user can type in (eg) "path" and draw the path, then that's how you teach newbies? Has this user tried to use iD (the best new user friendly editor today) to do this? Does that do the job? If not,
