This mailing list is the right place to discuss openstreetmap, it would
be wrong to expect mappers to sign up for an a 3rd pary site to discuss
openstreetmap.

As for your comment, I would say you are wrong, OSM is way ahead of
google in terms icons and map style. Most places are almost devoid of
mapped icons on google maps.
