Hi. I'm a mapper a few miles down I-70, in Manhattan. Thanks for your contribution to the map!
Question about this roundabout: Is it truly a "mini" roundabout? Technically this has a specific meaning and is (in my experience) mostly found in Europe. Mini roundabouts do not have a raised center island but rather just paint. This allows trucks to pass straight through them. See the OSM wiki for more details: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmini_roundabout
If it is a true roundabout with a raised center, it should ideally be mapped as a circular way. See this one I did in Manhattan: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/39.18675/-96.56169

I changed it from a mini_roundabout to a junction=roundabout, which I believe fits the wiki. It is significantly smaller than roundabout you linked to. Many of the small roundabouts in Lawrence are represented by intersections with the roundabout tag. If you think I should draw the circle I will. I am planning on getting a gps trace for it soon.

Ah ok. Sounds like some other smaller ones we have in Manhattan too. Which actually... I think a couple of them are mapped as mini roundabouts when they really shouldn't be. I should get on that :)
I think according to the wiki, what you have done now should be fine. Of course now it doesn't render on the map like the mini roundabout did. Oh well, we map according to reality, not the renderer :)
