I like this approach as part of the three column layout, and I would use four thumbnails for people to get at the map: - default - osmarender - cycle - public transport (http://www.öpnvkarte.de) Each linking through to the slippy map with that layer selected, and the public transport tiles optionally mirrored on OSM infrastructure to ensure it can cope. Other points to reinforce what others have said: - the front page should promote the unique selling points of OSM - free data, versatility, participation, detail, coverage (not just a slippy map that's not really as functional as Google Maps) - features on the front page that are really unique to OSM in the map world, and that are underplayed now: export, edit and blogs.openstreetmap.org Regards, Tom _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
