I see a banner Welcome Mat I OpenStreetMap followed by With an organisation making plans for OSM... My question is What organisation? As a new member I would think that means Welcome Mat is an organisatiopn making plans for OSM. Which makes no sense.
I presume the idea was to greet new members from all categories... but on the home page.... the first one that we see .... there is no friendly welcome.
May I suggest something more along the lines of...
The OpenStreetMap Welcome Page (or Mat)
A warm welcome to our new members and thank you for your interest in the advancement and improvement of OpenStreetMap.
On this page you will find links to explain what we are about and to the various aspects and activities that this community is involved in and hopefully you will be able to find an activity that is suited to your special skill sets. There are also links to training materials and Mapathons to help you to learn new skill sets so that you can expand your contribution to OpenStreetMap and be involved in new ventures.
