[OSM-dev] Default map style on osm.org

[Jason Remillard]

Hi,

I know we have been around, and around on this. It would be much
easier to make things look good and show many details if we had
specific focus for each layer (landuse, sports, public transport, car
transport, bike transport, POIs, walking), etc. I am not sure, but I
hope we will soon have the server resources to host more than one
layer on osm.org.

Thanks
Jason
