Last year two people joined a mapping party we hosted in Renton, WA. I
believe both were from Saudi Arabia and were interested in learning how to
use iD so they could map their hometowns. I suspect there are other ex-pats
mapping in Saudi.

You might want to consult http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/oooc by Pascal
