And also a very quick mention of OpenStreetMap generally in this article too.
It's linked off the front page just now.

With the increasing publicity, could we have an effort to change the front page
soon? Even a most simple web page with a link to the wiki, a link to the slippy
map (with disclaimer), and a few (or just one) examples of completed maps would
be far better, IMHO. A nice looking page could come later, but I think it needs
addressing urgently. I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to help, but if
there is then I'll see what I can do.

Thanks,
