Adding an new section about "How to learn to contribute to OSM" #100

I have not found a list of resources for learning to contribute to OSM, such as: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners%27_Guide https://learnosm.org https://mappers.un.org/learning/ https://labs.mapbox.com/mapping/

Hey severinmenard,

Note, Welcome Mat is mainly aimed at organizations(i.e. companies) at 'organizational' level (should it contribute, if so how). It is not for individuals looking for some information on an object type or how to edit the map.

Ideally Get help would be listed as a See also on the "How we map" wiki page (is: "general guidelines") linked from How to give back? (alongside import guidelines). This is something you can add yourself (See also Wikipedia guideline "Be bold").

The beginner's guide can also be found from the osm.org Help page (where you may find this website as well), the wiki sidebar (somewhat ambiguous 'Help' link, or via 'Main page') and by searching 'How to...' or 'Contribute...' in wiki, for example.

If you need help contributing to the wiki, there is #wiki channel in the OSM World Discord (unofficial, not run by OSMF).

Furthermore, there is https://github.com/osmfoundation/welcome-mat/issues/50 for adding/improving page informing organisations who want to contribute data(sets).
