well the introductory page on the wiki is not one to help you see OSM as a 
serious project
its messy
it contains all sorts of things which suggest "game"
like the lolcat bit
and "Show me the map! I want to see maps; get out of my way! "
The use of colour all over the page detracts from the actual heading and 
leading explanatory sentence which are lost between the language list and the 
pretty colours below
