John has already done some fantastic improvements to our land cover collection - like in this area: http://mapserver.flightgear.org/map/?lon=-72.7&lat=42.4&zoom=10&layers=B000000FFFFFFFFFTFFFF .... and he's pretty familiar with the requirements. As a general hint I'd say: Please be careful wrt. the license. As an example, don't blindly copy features from OpenStreetMap - their license and ours are somewhat (still) irreconcilable.
