(The aim of this email is to provide prior knowledge of an upcoming change to the OSM website and to give you an opportunity to provide constructive feedback)
(I posted this email to the "talk" mailing list last Tuesday. Since then we had some great feedback and changes have been made to the design. As we move closer to this change, I felt it appropriate to communicate this change to the local GB list.) Hi All, Today the updated design for the main OpenStreetMap.org website is nearly ready to be rolled out. You can view a demo atredesign.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org and you can read about the latest changes on the “pull request” at: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/498#issuecomment-28309700 This is the cumulation of many months of work starting with Saman's presentation at State of the Map US 2013. Obviously I realise that not everyone has the time to search for all the background in the mailing lists and "github pull request" so to help I have collated the video and slides from both SotM US 2013 and SotM 2013 athttp://2013.stateofthemap.org/blog/upcoming-changes-openstreetmaporg-website/ Please take a minute or two to give it a try – both positive feedback and constructive criticism is welcomed. Note: The test server running at the link below is separate from the rest of the osm.org website. As such, you will need to set up new user account if you want to test out how the website functions for logged in users. Furthermore the history results will not show much! http://redesign.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org Regards, RobJN Final acceptance is by the OpenStreetMap Foundation and it's Working Groups. The work of the Foundation and the Working Groups is explained at:http://2013.stateofthemap.org/blog/work-openstreetmap-foundation/
