Every single design that was thrown around at the time had the map very prominently on the front page. I do not necessarily want to say that the map should be removed from the front page; I'm not sure. www.openstreetmap.de tries to have it all with the map sandwiched inside a larger page. About two years ago, a completely different, three-column design was discussed on the lists but did not find too many friends at the time; I have an old copy of it here but I don't know who the original author was: http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/three.jpg I don't find that too bad actually. But it has no map on the first page. I vehemently stated that we're about data, not about slippy maps, in the talk-de discussion; however we also need to show off.
