Just one question I couldn't read the answer out of your post:
Will it be possible to get access to the OSM API via http to that toolserver (just like http://api.openstreetmap.org)?
The answer is yes/no/maybe. It's pretty much up to you (or more precisely, Avar for now) what will be installed there. Some kind of web api to some kind of data is likely to be there at some point, yes. But as far as I know, no public services are yet planned. The services available will be the services users supply.
Oh noes:)
As I told Daniel I really didn't want to end up playing server admin, but I'll do it if there's nobody else to do it. There are certain concerns about private data at play here which don't make it easy to give access freely.
Do we have a list of people who're interested in the administration aspect of this? I.e. setting up & maintaining database & tile rendering services and/or doing other miscellaneous administration tasks.
