SWG has taken this on because the usability of the site is a the primary way users, new and old, engage with OSM, there are definitely issues with it, and we're trying to put together the right _approach_ to improve it. Many of the issues and possible solutions are known, but OSM has been stuck on how to implement for a long time. So we're trying to figure out the plan. That's different from actually doing the design work. Yet, in yesterday's meeting, we realized that actually doing anything would be a good start. We simply said to the coders in the group ... implement one idea, individually, for the site and make a pull request. The logo was the first. Agreed, that a blog post on the logo would've been a simple and good move. I'll ask for this now. Cheers -Mikel
