[OSM-talk] New Logo in the Wiki

[Simon Poole]

Grant

While I don't quite understand why the SWG has turned in to the WDWG 
(Web Design Working Group) (it does seem to be a bit outside it's 
charter ...), I believe Martin issue is with the rampant re-active 
instead of pro-active information policy that infects all parts of OSM. 
Not that I don't understand some of the reasons for this, but on the 
other hand it does, unnecessarily, create a fair amount of animosity.

While we are on the subject of the WDWG (:-)) I would like to point out 
that there is at least one complete mock-up of an alternative front page 
that many consider superior to what is currently in use. I'll see if I 
can find a reference to that later today.
