And I, Tom, would feel fine leaving too after you pissed all over the design work in OGD comments I got done yesterday because I didn't ask your express permission. I think it's a totally valid criticism to say potlatch 1 feels like windows 3.0, there's potlatch 2 that's been sitting around forever, and it's a million times better, and if it's not going to ever get finished we need to look at other ways to allow people to contribute to the map.

You have to take a step back here and realise what we're missing out on. Oh for crying out loud Steve, do you have to be such a complete shit all the time? I honestly wouldn't blame Richard if he deleted all his code and walked off into the sunset and we never saw him again after that pointless little diatribe. I do help it made you feel better.

I haven't seen nor heard of a front page reinvention committee. I see some things are better with less white space. I'd like to see a better map key as one thing cartographers whine about is the apparent lack of a map key. Today was the first day I ever found it. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] OSM front page design concept
Hi, Great mockup ! I think we absolutely need a "get direction" as an alternative to the search box. This is probably on of the first thing why people are using maps :), to see how to go from anywhere to anywhere else. Why to keep the ratio of the map ? rather than to link dynamicaly the bottom edge of the slippy map to the browser's borders like the left and right ones are. Great job anyway !
