There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community/

https://mapcomplete.org/ is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)

https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.

My biggest wish is that there's an easy way to contribute images to wikimedia and to link them easily with osm. As soon as that's possible, we'll map the world much quicker and more reliable. Someone might take pictures of benches and another one will add the info if there's a backrest from home.

Yes, but the upload process is not accessible. It has to be accessible, otherwise everything I do is just a drop into the ocean

With mapcomplete, it is literally clicking 'upload image', taking a picture and waiting for it to be uploaded?
