[Talk-GB] Some newbie questions

Hello,

I've recently started uploading GPX tracks to OSM and processing them
for inclusion in the map.  SO far things seem to be going well, but I
have a couple of questions:

1) How do I mark up an area of land, for example a park?  Do I just add
nodes around the perimeter of the park (following my track), join these
with segments to enclose the area, and then set the landuse tag
appropriately?

2) How should I mark up a fire path?  A fire path is where a road is
blocked to non-emergency service traffic, often using raised kerbs and
no entry signs.

I've started mapping the West End of Glasgow around where I live, is
anyone working on this area at the moment?

Thanks,

Keith.
