As you guys have just pointed out, perhaps these projects (or any
other reuse of the data) aren't going to be possible without us all
coming to an agreement on the licensing beforehand.

The licence does state "Attribution. You must attribute the work in
the manner specified by the author or licensor." The licensor in this
case being OSM. So, if OSM(F?) says that the maps should be attributed
as copyright OSM, that's alright(1), and a link could be provided to a
list of contributors(2) to that data up to the point of map creation.

(1) contributors would probably need to agree with this beforehand,
but for the weekend mapping projects the assumption is that an area
would be mapped by an individual, so this wouldn't be too difficult to
arrange
(2) privacy concerns need to be sorted out in the community before we
can do that
