Outline for osm.org talk
Plan is to define a number of fundamental problems with osm.org and present concrete, solutions, in the form of visual mock-ups, that address these flaws.
Rethink the information architecture and visual design of the website to better represent the project and meet real user needs. OpenStreetMap is four interconnected things:
- openstreetmap.org is a map in the way Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Users use it for navigation and exploration. It needs to look like a map and function like a map.
- openstreetmap.org is an app designed for editing and maintaining the map. Users use it to inspect data and directly access editing tools.
