Hello, I'm also sad about the situation. What's going on on ptolemy? I didn't get an answer for my bug-report there [1] since 9th December (I post it also two times to this list and IRC). Can we change our organisation so that the people which wants to do something, can do it? (Or was it only a joke that we move to ptolemy?)
I think we have some nice projects starting, here some examples that I know: *OSM-Geohack seems useful to come with 2 clicks from Wikipedia to each OSM-map. *Last week we clean up the german Geohack, so that you have directly a OSM-map on this page (thanks to dispenser). This page would be also a nice test bench for our servers if they would running. *The multilingual maps from avar are also an interesting aspect of OSM. *We render some nice hillshading tiles for hike-and-bike-map.[5] *I work today a little bit on my query-to-map script so that you get links to wikipedia and to websites if this links are in OSM. [4]
So everything nice and fascinating for me but I think we are too slow and confuse, especially with our main objective to bring OSM-maps into Wikipedia.
What we should do now in each case is to start a wiki-page to collect this nice projects. (Like [6]) I'm not sure if we should use the metawiki or the toolserver-wiki. I prefer the toolserverwiki and hope I find the time to start this weekend: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/OpenStreetMap/Projects The OpenStreetMap page on meta wiki needs also a clean-up.
Greetings Kolossos
