Practical advise for massive edits? (lemmy.world)

I live in an area where tons of data is missing. I mean the whole areas with no street addresses, missing streets, missing bike routes, etc.

Is there a guide or special tools for preparing to make massive edits like this? Is there a particular work flow that people use or resources? How do I even get started?

Where do you find groups?

Thank you :)

I tried the Matrix and the Discord last night, but couldn't find anything for the UK, never mind Wales.

With the project starting in London the mailing lists have a lot of inertia behind them for British mappers. If you join I'd recommend a dedicated email address.

There's a full listing on the wiki, but talk-gb is probably the biggest.

They also have a local chapter that organises quarterly projects, but I don't think they host much in the way of discussion.
