I'm liking this direction and also renaming from 'export' to 'data' as this is clearer. Simple and based on a couple of common use cases. I'd add: - Move embed functionality to a clean control on the front page (that's not really 'export' or 'data') - Possibly do the same with image export (e. g. make embedding as slippy map or as image optional) This would mean folding http://planet.osm.org/ into a future data tab, no? How do the planet osm maintainers see this? > -- > martijn van exel > http://oegeo.wordpress.com > > _______________________________________________ > dev mailing list > dev@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev Alex Barth http://twitter.com/lxbarth tel (+1) 202 250 3633 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
