A wiki page has been set up with lots of helpful advice:

More general information mapping parties can be found here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapping_party
We need people on foot, on bike, and in cars as it can means that more is covered, using the best suited travel option.
Its a small place, so we think that folks on foot may want to do the inside roads and the detailed, shops, points of interest etc (which is more rewarding).
Cyclists the outlying roads, and cars the further surrounding roads and nearby villages / tourist attractions etc.
If we find the whole town mapped by lunch, then the walkers can go off hiking a bit... we play it by ear. And talking of Lunch there are many pubs (the Bridge Inn is a popular Watermill just outside of the town) or you can picnic in the very fine park by the river Nidd. The universally famous Otley Silver Band plays there - so we maybe in luck and have music to eat by!
Another OSM mapper writes:
'There are certainly some excellent walks in the area, alas all done in my dark pre-GPS past. If any one is interested in industrial archaeology, the area to the north of the road between Pately Bridge and Greenhow Hill is full of old lead mines, and, at least when I last went there, has ruined smelt mills and the like. Greenhow Hill itself is the site of Roman silver and lead mining.'
