</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Not at all. I am trying to help you by communicating the fact that this change is upcoming, and I am collating responses and feeding them back to John. I simply noted that this request has been made previously and it was rejected on the basis that the OSM.org website's primary focus is to spread the message of how OSM is different. There are some people within the community that think we should not provide a map on the home screen and instead do something like <a href="http://openstreetmap.de/">http://openstreetmap.de/</a> or even <a href="http://openstreetmap.us/">http://openstreetmap.us/</a><br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I will feed these comments back, and ask for the issue to be reconsidered, but please this is by no means a guarantee that thing will be changed.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Regards,<br>
Rob<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">p.s. This redesign is a proposal from John of the MapBox team. It will ultimately be accepted or rejected by the OSM Foundation/working groups. Anyone can propose changes, so if you have the coding skills to make this change then feel free to do it and add a "pull request" on github.<br>
