	tl;dr: A step-by-step tutorial for making your first OpenStreetMap contribution in under 15 minutes by adding a `website` tag to a local shop or amenity. The workflow uses JOSM (the Java OSM editor) with a filter query to find places missing websites, plus the WebsiteWizard plugin to search DuckDuckGo and save the URL. Website tags are prioritized because they unlock easy discovery of other metadata like phone numbers and opening hours.
	HN Discussion: ↓JOSM is the wrong tool for beginners; use the built-in iD editor instead ↓Mobile apps like StreetComplete and Every Door are better entry points for new contributors ↑Personal success stories of contributing to OSM and seeing edits propagate quickly •Overview of the broader ecosystem of OSM editing tools available ~OSM has great potential but editing barriers and priorities (like shop data) need improvement
