Hi Doudou, I don't think anyone has a local domain to show the same as what openstreetmap.org shows. In fact, I think most people believe openstreetmap.org should look more like what the local websites look like, rather than the other way around. In the previous version of osm.be, there was in

Second thoughts... When you visit a .com website, which also has an affiliated regional website, like .be, you expect to find the same stuff but in the local language and with local products. By the logic above, openstreetmap.be should show the map centered on Belgium. In the case of
