[OSM-newbies] Rendering OSM without Adobe Flash

[Mike N.]

Rendering on OSM is safe - it doesn't use Flash, just JavaScript.   Editing 
with Potlatch does use Flash, but I believe OSM is not in the same category 
of user-uploadable content to trigger the exploit, but I haven't looked at 
the details of the exploit.
