Here's a write-up, photos, and the map (before/after) for the mapping party held during Wikimania:

In sum, we gave a workshop, followed by taking ~25 participants out on the streets of Haifa to collect map data, broke into 4 smaller groups. Big thanks to Eugene (seav), MADe, Zvika, Yarl, and Polimerek, all experienced mappers, who helped lead the groups, as well as the Hebrew speakers who accompanied us.
The map (http://osm.org/go/xtTsF0inF-) is drastically improved, with excellent follow-up by the mappers to get the information entered into the map.
We've also uncovered a bunch of RTL bugs in OSM, and could use help to address them.
Cheers, Katie
