In a blog post by Serge Wroclawski, a long time OpenStreetMap contributor and the founder of the OpenStreetMap US organization, outlines reasons why he believes OSM is in trouble.

A choice quote.
"The first problem that I feel plagues OSM is that the OpenStreetMap Foundation views the mission of the project to provide the world a geographic database, but not geographic services."
