Mapping for Open Historical Map
Posted by Sunfishtommy on 1 November 2015 in English. Last updated on 2 November 2015.Hello I know this is a little off topic here, but i could not find another place to ask this question.
I stumbled across Open Historical Map (http://www.openhistoricalmap.org/) Which is basically OSM but for historical stuff. Super cool and totally what i am in to. The problem is when i tried to create my account i never received my confirmation email. Does anyone know who I talk to over there to get my confirmation email so I can start contributing to OHM?
Also here is the info page for OHM if anyone is interested
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Historical_Map
Edit: I hit the resend button again just now and it finally sent me the email more than 12 hours later ohh well.

Hello,
welcome to OSM and also OHM!
There is a mailing list that is the primary way of getting help. This is at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic
The list is quite active and you can find good discussions there on a wide variety of things.
There is also an IRC channel on #ohm at irc.oftc.net which may give quicker assistance, but there’s only a few people there at the moment.
Cheers,
Chippy.
