Well the first part is mostly off-road type enthusiests that could
help improve the amount of GPX data available to make maps.

Part 2 would be to help turn some of those enthusiests into mappers

Part 3 is for OSM AU users to help point out AU specific and regional
features that aren't nessicarily on the map features wiki page.
