Mapping footpaths on WUR campus

I'm out to map all the footpaths on WUR's new campus. (WUR is Wageningen University in Wageningen, Netherlands.) I have noticed the current OpenStreetMap this region of the Netherlands is somewhat incorrect. Hopefully in the next month or so, I can clean it up.

I'm using my trusty old Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx. The mapsource on it is the OpenStreetMap of the Netherlands.

Yesterday, I've upload some tracks, but I'm not sure if I have done it correctly. I'm waiting to see if my uploads show up on the GPS Traces page.

I'm a newbie to this project, so my contributions may not be perfect for the first few.

Everyone starts as a newbie. Fortunately "good" and "useful" are the required level - "perfect" can come later :-)
