I tend to agree with Frederik: no prominent map, we are about data,
geodata, map is just one of the byproducts.

If I would redesign the main page I would rather give more emphasis to
top examples of how those data can come out of the DB, local contacts,
and a way to see that given any single area of the world a map can
come out differently (i.e. aimed at different kind of users: cycle,
auto).

Show of what you can do with CC-BY-SA data...not just slippymap.
