Thanks to everyone for joining the OpenStreetMap National Parks Mailing

Mamata Akella they are now available.

I see this group as a means to improve OSM and NPS maps. To accomplish this
we need to improve the wiki, decide what tags need to be approved, import
NPS data into OSM and plan and coordinate mapping parties. Additionally I
think we need publicize our work.

I would like to solicit you thoughts on what our goals should be and how we
should proceed.
