[OSM-talk-be] Survey-article / Belgian OSM website

[Marc Gemis]

To be honest, I was hoping there would be a spot for some more
technical articles as well.

So I would like to see

Projects: describing the things we do , targeted towards new users
News: really news: mapathons, mapping parties, new  apps, etc.
Blogs: Mapper of the month, (and perhaps more technical articles as
well, otherwise those have to go on diaries on osm.org)

A "what is new section" would be nice to highlight articles that were
added the last ... days. Automatically populated.
An "index section" and/or search, especially for the blogs part.
Projects should fit on one page anyway :-)
