I like the wiki/collaborative approach, but at the same time i think the 
*generic/casual user* is confused by the lot of redoundant links 
and "gerarchy anarchy" coming from it. If the most clicked link is "recent 
changes" it's easy to say actually the site is a developer/hackers party and 
not a "portal" :)) I repeat, i like it as is now but if you think osm has to 
be opened to not skilled users somethinks should be revisited (and not only 
the wiki!).

About the images, in the future the online-applet and the tiles should become 
quite rich of features and have a fine look, so there will be no need for all 
these raster images to show what you can do with osm data.
Of course there will be pages and links showing what you can do 
with "external" software, but the number of images will be limited to show 
only some examples.
