First of all, thanks for the nice redesign.

To be honest, the welcome box annoys me as well, as a frequent
JOSM-editor, and I think it would also annoy me as a new user. Is the
way to attract new users really to annoy them? I have other companies
seen doing that, but I doubt Openstreetmap needs such a thing. I don't
know what are the opinions of other users, but as far as I'm
concerned, the website would be better if the box could be hidden.
