How to start

Tackle the following assignments and send your deliverables to [[email protected]].

Assignment #1

Objective

• Understand the structure and process
• Assess existing documentation

Work

• Start from LearnOSM website.
• Write down the process as you proceed
  • Find the instructions to help translate the site.
  • Try to contribute an actual sample (a short fake or real translation for a part of a page).

Deliverables

1. Deliverable: contact
   • How many ways did you find to contact or exchange with the LearnOSM team?
2. Deliverable: analysis
   • Provide your notes on the process for translating and submitting
   • Compare the existing documentation and actual process
   • Report the difficulties you encountered, unclear instructions, missing documentation.
3. Deliverable: contributed page
   • This can be fake or real, not an entire page but only a sample. Just the fact that you submit something shows an achievement.
   • Extra: your contribution is actually useful to the website.
