Wow, I didn't know them (and I'm active for quite some time). Why not link
from the mainpage to one of these sites (with a link called "Applications"
or "Funky Stuff" or "See how OSM rocks!" or something like this)?
I prefer the second link for some reasons:
- Everybody can edit the Wiki
- There's a short description of the service
- It's hosted by OSM, which is "dedicated to encouraging the growth,
development and distribution of free geospatial data" (OSM Foundation)
