[Wikimania-l] OSM mapping party report

[aude]

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
