Thanks for the post, and I see you registered for OSM years ago but haven’t edited much. Are you taking this course? Have they talked about OSM or ‘crowd-sourced’ maps? Did that spark your interest again? The community has been discussing recruiting/keeping mappers over the last couple days on the Talk-US list, it’d be great to hear your thoughts of what kept you from editing and (I hope) why you’re getting back into it now.
Also, please feel free to reach out to me if you need help getting going.

yes, I signed up for the course, it’s pretty interesting. I don’t remember coming across mentions of OSM though; ESRI comes up alot.
Contributing to OSM seemed difficult a while back, my recent contribution didn’t seem as hard. Hopefully, I’ll get back into it.

Hope you don’t mind me prying a bit, but could you elaborate on why it seemed difficult then vs. now? Did you have previous mapping/GIS/geospatial knowledge or was this your first course in the field? Did taking this course give you more confidence in being able to edit OSM?
Thanks for the discourse,

I’m also taking this course. I’ve done a lot of OSM, but took the course because I don’t know much about the basics behind the map. I think the course won’t help with editing OSM much. Knowing how to edit and map are much different than understanding the abstractions the course talks about. They did talk about the Haiti map, but without attribution.
