It only happened about 24 hours ago! Give us a chance and we'll get all 
the details sorted out and make some announcements...

That repo is the master repo for the live site and is only likely to be 
open to a limited number of committers. The nature of a DVCS is that it 
doesn't need to be open to everybody as people can just fork and then 
ask for changes to be pulled in to the live site.

If you're asking whether other projects can have repos on that server 
then we may consider it for some other core tools but I'd like to let 
what we have settle down a bit first - if nothing else I need to get 
used to git.

I don't see it becoming the kind of vast dumping ground for all and 
sundry that the svn repo is - once again that isn't really the spirit of 
a DVCS anyway.

I take you didn't actually look at http://git.openstreetmap.org/ then?
