Hi Steve,
you might be interested in the community mapping project mapomatix.
Once your street maps are done, people could use mapomatix to add custom 
icons to the street maps.

There is also this:


"it is our pleasure to invite you to participate to the next newsletter 
coordinated by the euromovements network. The issue will be about "Maps 
and social transformation". I do list below the call for papers in 
several languages. I hope that you will find it interesting and that you 
will spread it widely through your own networks,
take care!!
Alex- euromovements"
