[OSM-newbies] A few questions:

[Dave F.]

Hi
1. Is there a F.A.Q?

2. In the map features section it shows a footpath as a solid 
orange/brown line but on the map it shows a a reddish dashed line. What 
am I missing?

3. Is there a distinction between public footpaths & private paths (UK)? 
I've noticed in my home town there's some private ones marked (in fact 
you have to pay an entrance fee) with the same linestyle as public.

4. Relating to the above, is there a way to contact the authors of  map 
areas. This maybe answered when I'm allowed to enter the Edit section. 
At the moment it won't log me in with my new account.

Cheers
Dave F.
