OSM website and to give you an opportunity to provide constructive feedback)</pre><pre>(I posted this email to the "talk" mailing list last Tuesday. Since then we had some<br>great feedback and changes have been made to the design. As we move closer to this<br>

Hi All,
Today the updated design for the main OpenStreetMap.org website is nearly
ready to be rolled out. You can view a demo at
<a href="http://redesign.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org">redesign.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org</a> and you can read about the latest
changes on the “pull request” at:
<a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/498#issuecomment-28309700">https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/498#issuecomment-28309700</a>
This is the cumulation of many months of work starting with Saman's
presentation at State of the Map US 2013. Obviously I realise that not
everyone has the time to search for all the background in the mailing lists
and "github pull request" so to help I have collated the video and slides
from both SotM US 2013 and SotM 2013 at
<a href="http://2013.stateofthemap.org/blog/upcoming-changes-openstreetmaporg-website/">http://2013.stateofthemap.org/blog/upcoming-changes-openstreetmaporg-website/</a>
Please take a minute or two to give it a try – both positive feedback and
constructive criticism is welcomed.<br></pre><pre>Note: The test server running at the link below is separate from the
rest of the <a href="http://osm.org">osm.org</a> website. As such, you will need to set up new
user account if you want to test out how the website functions for
logged in users. Furthermore the history results will not show much!<br><a href="http://redesign.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org">http://redesign.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org</a> <br></pre><pre><br>Regards,
