As this is new, is there a dedicated email contact to reach people
handling this ?

You would need to get approval from the OSMF if you wanted to still
keep WhatOSM

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm clearly not an expert of legal
issues, so the following may probably not make sense.
<developer nonsense>
The goal of this tool is to help new contributors, and making them
more easily start contributing to OSM. If we give it an obscure
name, not referring to OSM, then where is the link between this
tool and OSM ? I understand legal issues, but I hope that we don't
loose of sight that we are a community project, and we need some
form of cohesion. Our tools don't share so much except that they
edit OSM data or help people doing so. According to this policy,
JOSM should have been named instead "Java Editor for
you-know-which-map-I'm-talking-about" ? Doesn't make sense to me.
However, if there is a way to keep the name and sign some sort of
contract, implying that I will not misuse the name or so, no
problem, that would be fair. But let's keep the fun in creating
tools for OSM, and not being able to name it using OSM is clearly
boring plus misleading for users.

Thanks for reading this nonsense, I'm totally open to find a way
to solve this potential naming issue, if someone can give me some
hints about it, it would be great.

Adrien.

You might want to reconsider the name as you started this project
2 weeks ago and XYZosm or osmXYZ or OpenXYZMap are "copyrighted"
and goes against the new usage policy.

Hi everyone,
As you may know, OSM has a whole set of tools allowing
various thematic editing and contribution. Every contributor
can find something to do, however when you are new to this
world, you don't where these tools are and which one is made
for you.
In order to make it easier discovering contribution tools,
and find the ones according to what you want to work on, I
made a little web guide named WhatOSM. When answering three
questions (level of difficulty, available time and if you are
indoors/outdoors), you have a list of corresponding tools.
You can try it here :
http://projets.pavie.info/whatosm/
<http://projets.pavie.info/whatosm/>
It can be used by new contributors, but also more
experimented ones, who don't know what to do anymore in their
neighbourhood. It might be interested to show this to people
when doing mapping parties. User interface works as well on
desktop as on smartphone.
This project is open source and is available on this repository :
https://framagit.org/PanierAvide/WhatOSM
<https://framagit.org/PanierAvide/WhatOSM>
You can contribute to it by proposing tools which allow
contributing more or less directly to OpenStreetMap. Also, if
you speak English + another language, you can help
translating the application :

<https://www.transifex.com/openlevelup/whatosm/>
If you have any ideas or suggestions, let me know :-)
Regards,
Adrien.
