#### 2.1.2. Provide a tool for communities to welcome new mappers ([GL#8](https://gitlab.com/osmfoundation/lccwg/-/issues/8))
* Clifford's OSM-US version: https://welcome.snowandsnow.us
* Main issue for the US: entire US, because built on Pascal Neis's RSS
* Relatively easy to set up.
* Italy's tool that's based on Belgium's tool is not updated. OSM IT wants to add more features.
* Biggest issue for getting the tool used is finding people who will actually do the welcoming.
* If someone is available to help people set up their insatnce on one server, that might make life much easier
* Jorge volunteer to see the feasibility of extending the tool to accommodate multiple communities.
* Joost to help set-up a meeting between Anisa, Stefano, Midgard and Clifford.

* What question to ask?
How do they deal with paid work?

- Is there other work you pay for yourself? How do you finance this?
- Do you help people who need someone to do paid work for them? If so how? And what kind of work? What about paid mapping?
