I don't understand why we can't just establish a few wiki pages and a new mailing list for people interested in end-uses of data. Make a few clear splits in wikis, lists, the front page etc. for people interested in gathering and using data. There's definitely a need for more collaboration and code-sharing on the OpenLayers/stylesheet front, it's all a bit of a confusing mess at the moment. I'd be happy to get stuck into both discussions, having mapped large chunks of Reading, St Albans, Peckham and Sutton... and having set-up a map based on OSM data (http://map.oneplanetsutton.org).
