Yes, This is another point I would definitely agree to. I don't know how these 
Things change with Ruby-Rails. But if it doesn't change with rails we could 
already start with it.
What about renameing the Host which does the diaplying and editing to 
editing.openstreetmap.org and then putting a static startpage to 
www.openstreetmap.org which gives a nice good introduction to OSM like the 
first wiki page currently does.
