I very much like the fact it is responsive on small screens.

Would it be possible to have a dismiss button on the Welcome to 
OpenStreetMap box (including Learn More and Sign Up, but not including 
search)? Just like the x on the panels that replace it, e.g. when you 
search. Perhaps if you dismiss it it could join the green buttons as 
'Welcome' to get it back.

On iPad and netbooks, this box takes up a substantial part of the screen 
obscuring the map. Less of a problem on larger screens, but still 
intrusive if you want to see the whole map. Clearly it is a very 
important part of the page when the whole point is to promote OSM, but 
being able to make it go away would be helpful when you're just trying 
to make use of the map.

Why do some of the links in the header have boxes round them and others 
don't?
