We periodically hold "webinars" for various topics. These are intended to be informative and instructional on topics of editing the map for beginners to advanced Wazers.

Look here in the future for updated information about the timing and details of these webinars. Information will change on this first post as webinars are announced, but may be repeated in subsequent message to refresh date of posting and alert others.

Appreciate the feedback! I wanted to mention that we intended to hold more of these, but the last couple months have been hectic and May, with end of school and graduations, is particularly bad. We'll start them up "soon." :)

Thanks... I need to figure out how to get On Air videos like this to have interactive Q&A via video and chat. Didn't work for this one, but it was our first attempt!

Even more confusing was that the meaning of the "Not identified" and "Solved" buttons is totally different depending on whether you are working a UR or an MP. If you are working a UR, "not identified" means you didn't nail it and "solved" means you did. But if you are working an MP, "not identified" means "escalate to a paid out-of-town editor of unknown skill with unpredictable results" and "solved" means either "I think I fixed it" or "consider this a bogus report and ignore it".
...
I was led to believe that the proper method for responding to Map Problems according to the wiki was to mark as Not Identified if there is no problem at that point, and to mark as Solved only if you actually made a change on the map to fix the problem. If you were unable to determine what the problem was or if it should be corrected, leave it marked as Open to let other editors see it.
