I guess we need to start "organizing" the welcoming committee to help bring the newbies up to speed. :-)

You got the idea :). Since nobody took on the welcoming committee proposal, I decided to just do the invites via diary postings.
Let's see how this goes. But a more organized effort should be better.

I've welcomed a new mapper named "Pufferfish". Gave him some tips, and invited him to join the mailing list. It's a good start, that's for sure. Maybe we need to make a "survey" for our new mappers.

Well, I've been sending messages to some newbies via the OSM messaging system. I only send to newbies that seem to want to stick around, so I wait until they contribute for at least several days before sending them a welcome message. This is to avoid bothering the one-time contributors. :-)

I use the same approach, observe if the new mapper comes back. If he/she continues to contribute, that's when I send messages mostly with this content:
1. commending his/her contributions in the specific
2. provide a few tips
3. extend a helping hand (you can ask me)
4. direct them to join the mailinglist
I've observed that most newbies use potlatch so sending them a message via osm website would be the best approach. What I want is to encourage them to join the mailinglist since most Ph discussion happen in the list.
