The wiki describes those parks like the city parks you might find (plus mapnik renders leisure=park as a awful mint green color). landuse=forest seems to be most appropriate for most DNR/state/national forest things but us US folks should probably come up with a reasonable tagging scheme for differentiating County/State/City/Federal parks (the kind with boats, and hiking trails and rampant wilderness) from say, Boston Public Gardens. I also would add a UUID to the data for each round of imports as an easier method to search for with XAPI later (or in case you accidently upload 10 copies of something) Yes, this looks good.

I'm not going to disagree with this, merely say that I didn't do this. My reasoning is that I'm the one doing the uploading for the uploads I've done, and I don't really see how separating that out into another user is going to be useful at all (unless all of the edits are bad). If the dataset is big then I can see the need. -Tyler
