Just registered to this OpenStreetMap hoping someday I can contribute for the improvement and updates of the street maps and at the same time be a useful guide to everybody who will make use of this map.

OSM isn't that difficult. Start with drawing and naming streets (if they aren't already drawn). Later on you can add other features (like the surface and speed limit), draw areas and landuses and end by using relations.

Here is the beginners' guide: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners%27_guide

Do remember that local information (pub names, local names, little paths that you can't see from images ...) are of the biggest value for OSM since they are very often missing from other maps.

Happy mapping.
