Dear all,
I have been actively participating in LearnOSM for a few months now and here is my first report of the community work on this project.
Status of material in English
Sections are being added, reorganised and updated, in particular:
- Coordination: http://learnosm.org/en/coordination/
- Note to new volunteers: http://learnosm.org/en/coordination/nepal-disaster/
- Smartphone app: http://learnosm.org/en/mobile-mapping/osmtracker/
Thank you Nick @Nick-Tallguy for your sustained hard work to improve the materials!
Special thanks to Win @gitGOwin for his various corrections and his full update of:

LeanOSM would be far more useful if it wasn’t a HOT political pamphlet spouting an extremely biased and exclusive view of what OSM is, excludig the majority of the OSM community. If it was not so, it would be a useful starting point for beginners, nowyou can’t point anybody except budding SJWs to it.
