[Talk-GB] Upcoming changes to OpenStreetMap.org website

[Jonathan]

Just read this after sending my reply to Oliver and I think you're 
right, also think the http://openstreetmap.de/ or even 
http://openstreetmap.us/ are right also.

If we are to render a version of OSM then it should just be seen as a 
"reference implementation" of the DB and not some holy grail.
