So, it's rather consistent. Thx for the check.

Hi Doudou,
I don't think anyone has a local domain to show the same as what
openstreetmap.org shows. In fact, I think most people believe
openstreetmap.org should look more like what the local websites look like,
rather than the other way around.
In the previous version of osm.be, there was in fact a link to "oh you just
want to see the default map" somewhere prominent on the page. I think it
was a conscious choice -not- to do that this time, but maybe we do have to
offer an alternative to that. For example: "I just want to see the map"
which leads to a page explaining there is only "the" database, and many
maps. With of course a link to the openstreetmap.org rendering of the map.

.nl .ie .de. fr .be .jp .us  --> no map, or map as background.
.ch .org --> map
.it -> just some text + link to wiki

It’s fine as long as it’s consistent and predictable for the user.

If a regional domain shows a map and another the chapter info, it can be 
confusing.

Second thoughts...

When you visit a .com website, which also has an affiliated regional website, 
like .be, you expect to find the same stuff but in the local language and with 
local products.

By the logic above, openstreetmap.be should show the map centered on Belgium.

In the case of openstreetmap.org and openstreetmap.be, they would be totally 
different.

My 2ç.

Hi,

Since OpenStreetMap Belgium recently became an official Local Chapter of
the OpenStreetMap Foundation, we finally got the www.OpenStreetMap.be
 domain. Everything is set up now that this
domain refers to the existing osm.be  website and subdomains.

That means that www.osm.be  is still the most
important url. Since OSM is a less known term than OpenStreetMap, I
would personally prefer to use the full version as the primary address,
with OSM.be still working but just as an alias.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Hi,

Since OpenStreetMap Belgium recently became an official Local Chapter of
the OpenStreetMap Foundation, we finally got the www.OpenStreetMap.be
domain. Everything is set up now that this domain refers to the existing
osm.be website and subdomains.

That means that www.osm.be is still the most important url. Since OSM is a
less known term than OpenStreetMap, I would personally prefer to use the
full version as the primary address, with OSM.be still working but just as
an alias.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?
