Well great news, the UN released an report, listing the abilities of Crisismapping by our Community during the Haiti desaster

Think this is a small milestone that shows that OSM is a very serious project :)
Esp. nice cause I wrote an article on Crisismapping in January for the German bureau of civil protection and crisis managing (BBK). Hopefully this will result in more high res material for upcoming activities.
