The fieldpapers.org service is pretty great: people can contribe to OSM 
with only a printer and digital camera. It's a matter of printing 
multipage maps of whatever area at whatever scale, then walking around 
and drawing on them by hand to add whatever features (roads, buildings, 
vegetation, etc.), then photographing each page and uploading the photos.


Then either the same contributors, or anyone else in the world, can go 
through and make the actual updates to the map.


This is one for Toodyay for example:
http://fieldpapers.org/atlas.php?id=zh833ngm#15/-31.5507/116.4698
(Click the 'download PDF' to view the actual atlas).

I've done a fair bit of OSM work from these sorts of things, and they 
work really well. Nice and low-tech!

P.S. There's also OpenLinkMap that displays anything taggged with 
Wikipedia articles and a bunch of other stuff:

http://www.openlinkmap.org/?zoom=16&lat=-31.55181&lon=116.46856&layers=BFT
Sort of the reverse of that thing that displays all geocoded articles on 
a map (the name of which I can not now remember).

Hi Everybody

We've had some more success over in Western Australia with work
commencing on our second WikiTown of Toodyay.

New editors are currently working on article creation focusing
initially on the heritage buildings on Stirling Terrace in Toodyay.
Watch list

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heritage_places_in_the_Shire_of_Toodyay
as they have been taught to create the page link for new articles
there, feel free to do some if you want.

The big new is the Toodyay has two Museums one in the Old Newcastle
Gaol  and the other
in Connor's Mill 
exhibits at both of these sites are about to be QR coded making
these the first museums in Australia to full utilize QR codes
linking to Wikipedia articles.

If you'd like to create a WikiTown near you please email me I'm more
than happy to help  more of these projects get off the ground.
