Access to the Twitter account, and to posting on OGD, is open.
I think your suggestions to answer user questions through our media
streams is a good one.

I think the most effective way to push forward what osm.org could be
is by demonstrating ideas with code. Isn't the code base now on github?
Start forking, trying out ideas ... things that work are going to be more
convincing than our descriptions of what to do. Code that works
(in all senses) should make it out to production.

These can even be small details. I really really like the additional
icons on the browse pages.
