@adamgreenfield @cfiesler @edsu @luis_in_brief might depend on your entry point. In terms of low barriers to entry I think hard to improve on StreetComplete or MapSwipe. And I found HOT projects more accessible than full map contribs.

@adamgreenfield @cfiesler @edsu @luis_in_brief I've also had good experience with learning from local mappers in person and online. But it's a big community and lots of different facets

@ldodds @adamgreenfield @cfiesler @edsu yeah, one of the interesting challenges (and opportunities) here is how to be invitational “at the front door” when there is no physical front door and the “main” front door (often the web site) is often hyper-contested space for different interests.

@ldodds @adamgreenfield @cfiesler @edsu or worse, for OSM, where the “front door” is most frequently a tiny (c) symbol in the lower right of a third-party app.
