Hi,

I mean, there's nothing wrong with having nice map but this is
certainly not at the core of the project, and certainly nothing we
should aim to have an "inspiring vision" for. We're providing the
underlying data for others to bring their inspiring visions to life.
That is your opinion
And that of a number of other people involved in this project for a long
time.
For others, the nice map is important.
The cool thing about OSM is: They can go ahead and create the nice map!
There's no need to battle for mindshare in the project, to whine about
lack of strategic vision for nice cartography - even if the project's
own map was the crappiest there is, anyone could *still* make great maps
from our data, and users would flock to their site. And we would not
view them as "competition" - we would even offer their maps as layers on
openstreetmap.org.
Bye
Frederik
