a short video clip showing people mapping together and explaining in 3
sentences the project, finishing with links to tutorials and a big "start
mapping" register button.

It is the business card of the project, the entrance to the osm universe.
It should be addressing those that are having first contact, because they
are most likely to go to a generic url and are the ones we can "catch". For
users it could be nice to have a kind of personizable bookmark link list
prefilled with suggestions ((local) community, documentation, data
download, quality control, changeset analysis, ....)

Cheers,
Martin
