This may be controversial, but I don't think a guide for people considering to contribute to OSM should send them away to Mapillary. They aren't part of OSM proper and arguably compete with us for volunteer time. Mapillary let us use their images, of course, but they have that in common with a lot of other orgs that no one would mistake for being part of the OSM project. > It can be used by new contributors, but also more experimented ones, who > don't know what to do anymore in their neighbourhood. For new contributors, the recommendations feel a bit too focused on niche use cases, and not enough on core OSM. When people have a few hours or days to spare and want to contribute to OSM, then I would almost always recommend that they start mapping in their local area using iD or JOSM (depending on computer skills). Something else to consider is that "outside" and "remotely" does not cover the entire OSM experience. In fact, the traditional way to contribute is to collect data outside, and enter it back at home. Right now, that's not an option with your tool. Hope this mail doesn't come across as too negative! I mostly focussed on potential improvements rather than the things that worked fine for me (i.e. everything not mentioned here).
