Yeah, that was the source of confusion. Also it is nice to hear that you're open to change and some people agree with me that osm.org needs one style for the normal user and one for the mapper. > The primary goal of the default style is to expose as much of the OSM data as possible. I see osm.org as the main reference for "OpenStreetMap". And everytime I suggest friends to have a look at this great source of information I hear it is not clear or even ugly. Also they miss a router but that is another topic ;) I think (and it would probably be also in the sense of all mappers) that OSM should gain even more (at)traction. And to do this one simple thing could be to improve the default style. > As Frederik mentioned, the default style is a mapper's map. It's there to provide instant feedback to mapping efforts. Why? Who decides this? Why not a normal user map as default and the mapper can choose its own preferred layer? This decission process is not clear to me here at OSM. Not to bash this and the community of course! Is there some process how to establish consent? Could it be probably easier for all to handle it like the Apache Foundation ... ?
