To be honest, I was hoping there would be a spot for some more technical articles as well.
So I would like to see Projects: describing the things we do , targeted towards new users News: really news: mapathons, mapping parties, new apps, etc. Blogs: Mapper of the month, (and perhaps more technical articles as well, otherwise those have to go on diaries on osm.org) A "what is new section" would be nice to highlight articles that were added the last ... days. Automatically populated. An "index section" and/or search, especially for the blogs part. Projects should fit on one page anyway :-) m.
