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.
I'm sad I missed the workshop. I would have loved to learn some of the things folks did to map buildings etc. Is there a document/howto online somewhere?
