<p><em>This is a larger change, an RFC on [talk] is pending.</em></p>
<p>This pull request adds a new page under <code>openstreetmap.org/contributors</code> like this:</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://a248.e.akamai.net/camo.github.com/44b8d0d5197df4a81d134374f5976ab477d16be5/687474703a2f2f636c2e6c792f696d6167652f3065316a303632313152305a2f53637265656e25323053686f74253230323031332d30312d31312532306174253230392e30362e3335253230414d2e706e67"><img src="https://a248.e.akamai.net/camo.github.com/44b8d0d5197df4a81d134374f5976ab477d16be5/687474703a2f2f636c2e6c792f696d6167652f3065316a303632313152305a2f53637265656e25323053686f74253230323031332d30312d31312532306174253230392e30362e3335253230414d2e706e67" alt="Screen Shot 2013-01-10 at 2 56 21 PM" style="max-width:100%;"></a></p>
<p>It is linked from a contributor's mark on the front page map:</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/108094/57981/4a3571c4-5b60-11e2-8a47-9e4a0513cc87.png"><img src="https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/108094/57981/4a3571c4-5b60-11e2-8a47-9e4a0513cc87.png" alt="Screen Shot 2013-01-10 at 2 59 42 PM" style="max-width:100%;"></a></p>
<p>The idea behind this contributor's mark and this new page is to provide a visually compelling way to link back to OpenStreetMap from maps and communicate clearly what OpenStreetMap is about: community built, open geographic data, anybody can contribute.</p>
<p>Ideally this contributor mark finds broad adoption and is used by OSM data users <a href="http://cl.ly/image/1O452w1V2r3Y">like this</a>.</p>
<p>The contributor's page can be configured to: </p>
<ul>
<li>Reflect custom tile sets</li>
<li>Reflect the specific OSM data user ("Foursquare uses maps powered by data from OSM...")</li>
<li>Set an unobtrusive link to OSM service provider ("Maps from MapBox")</li>
</ul><p>To help other users customize openstreetmap.org/contributors & use the link icon on their maps, there is a link in the bottom left corner of openstreetmap.org/contribors that brings up a little 'attribution builder' wizard that looks like this:</p>
<p>Step 1:<br><a target="_blank" href="https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/108094/57999/d5b8980c-5b60-11e2-90f3-db88f9675e66.png"><img src="https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/108094/57999/d5b8980c-5b60-11e2-90f3-db88f9675e66.png" alt="Screen Shot 2013-01-10 at 3 03 39 PM" style="max-width:100%;"></a></p>
<p>Step 2:<br><a target="_blank" href="https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/108094/58003/de52b466-5b60-11e2-8c27-829020d3759a.png"><img src="https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/108094/58003/de52b466-5b60-11e2-8c27-829020d3759a.png" alt="Screen Shot 2013-01-10 at 3 01 58 PM" style="max-width:100%;"></a></p>
<p>That code snippet is for a contributors mark meant to be dropped in the bottom right corner of maps, which links back to the /contributors page.</p>
<p>Aside from a pending review phase, this pull request still needs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Translatable strings on osm.org/contributors</li>
<li>Model releases and permissions from photographers</li>
<li>Reconciliation with osm.org/copyright</li>
</ul><p><a href="https://github.com/lxbarth" class="user-mention">@lxbarth</a> will follow up momentarily with a corresponding RFC on [talk] in a bit elaborating on this idea.</p>
<p>Original design is by <a href="https://github.com/yhahn" class="user-mention">@yhahn</a>. You can explore example usages of the contributors mark here (click on the mark on each of the examples and review how osm.org/contributors changes):</p>
