As you may know from my posts on the talk mailing list, I believe that it's essential OSM should have a highly functional "shop window" so that it becomes competitive with Google and Microsoft and therefore more widely used. That in turn will draw in new users and new contributors, further improving the data. There is a school of thought that OSM is just a geodata project and doesn't need to concern itself with presentation, but I think that is short sighted. Your site is a great step in improving the presentation of the OSM data and I hope that some of these improvements can find their way onto the main site.
