On the order of things.
Best to tell them what to do first. This provides some motivation.
Leave 'what not to do' for last, these tend to turn people away.
So I would do:
1 One feature, one OSM element
2 Good changeset comments (+Keep the history)
3 Editing Standards: (Align aerial imagery before tracing, Do not
trace from outdated imagery... Keep straight ways straight ... Mark
estimations with FIXME ... etc.)
4 Do correct errors
5 Verifiability (+Map what's on the ground, Don't map: historic
events, temporary features, local legislation etc)
6 Document your custom-tags (Don't remove tags that you don't
understand...
7 Don't map for the renderer (+ Don't misuse name tag)
I'd personally advocate for one more "don't" -- But it can be phrased as
a "do" if that helps the psychology:
"Try to keep changesets to a manageable size, both in number of changes
and geographical scope."
I believe this is commonly understood best practice, but it's only
vaguely documented.
