To be honest, that Wiki page is way out of date. I'm guessing that 
almost none of those people listed are still mapping where they say they 
are.

With the high res Nearmap imagery, the places to go are between Penrith 
and Blacktown. At least half of those suburbs still need their 
residential streets named. Perhaps we should use it to suggest places 
for people to go if they're interested in contributing?

Speaking of which, the NoName layer appears way out of date. There are 
streets I named a couple of months ago that still haven't made it off 
that layer. Is it still being regenerated?
