@InsertUser yup, perpetuating the notion that OSM is just a map, and hiding the people and the data.

It's like with cycle lanes: unless you build them, you won't see cyclists. How you frame the project dictates what people do with it.

@InsertUser (I'm not proposing to remove the map, just push it further down, e.g. under the /map endpoint. Like openstreetmap.de/ does).

...like it was years ago, with the image of the week on the front page etc.
Would love to see going back to that.

Well, Image of the Week is hard to curate (and it was the wiki), but a simple semi-automatic welcome page with an explanation, list of events, how to use / contribute / contact, would be much better than what we have.

Even the old wikipage might advertise the community more than the map (which is great as well :) ).

As for the image if the week - props to @harry_wood again.
