OpenStreetMap
I have been working (technically and conceptually) for some time to implement a local website for the OpenStreetMap project. The rest of the local contributors seam to be very interested in the idea of a local site (in our language) that helps to make the project well known and understood among the rest of the community.
The initial idea is to put in place an front page wish is a full page map, with a header containing some buttons to get to a Blog and OpenStreetMap.org, and a footer explaining the (cc) License that covers the map data, and giving credit to all the parts involved.
Most of the front page work is done, but I just can not figure out how to lower the navigation tools and the button to access the layer selection. I am not a javascript expert so I guessed the people that work with the OpenStreetMap.org Openlayer interface could help me with this.
I almost send this post without the URL for the site :)
Thank you very much for your comments and help.
Cheers,
Julio Costa

Hey,
I've just set up openstreetmap.pl and I permitted myself to copy most (all) of your design which looks very slick. I'll be modifying it from there on as time permits, but at the moment it looks almost identically, just the site is in Polish. The placement of the controls lower on the screen was a bit of a challenge to me too and I've only found a quite poor solution so far.
Good job mapping Chile!
Cheers
