While I don't quite understand why the SWG has turned in to the WDWG (Web Design Working Group) (it does seem to be a bit outside it's charter ...), I believe Martin issue is with the rampant re-active instead of pro-active information policy that infects all parts of OSM. Not that I don't understand some of the reasons for this, but on the other hand it does, unnecessarily, create a fair amount of animosity.

While we are on the subject of the WDWG (:-)) I would like to point out that there is at least one complete mock-up of an alternative front page that many consider superior to what is currently in use. I'll see if I can find a reference to that later today.

I noticed that there is a new OSM logo in the wiki. I find it strange

the lists, or did I miss something? Or was the site hacked?

I like the new logo, it is not radically different and is an iterative
improvement from the last.

It was discussed at yesterday's Strategic irc meet:
  http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Working_Group_Minutes/SWG_2011-04-29

Also discussed on the strategic list:
