There is now a wiki page about this effort here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSMFieldwork Please fill it in with useful information. Some of the islands concerned don't even have coastline yet. Grenada is doing amazingly well - it's gone from this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=12.149&lon=-61.677&zoom=12&layers=B00FTF to this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=12.1141&lon=-61.6849&zoom=12&layers=0B0FTF (Note: this comparison won't work after Mapnik re-renders :-) 44 people have signed up; 16 more are needed for us to have enough money to send someone to finish it off!
