openstreetmap roadmap?

Hi,

I've been wondering what is the roadmap of openstreetmap. I'm interested 
in creating some free maps for my country (Israel), but I'm not sure if 
this project fits my requirements.
I understand that you are working on a new applet, is there a list of 
features it will support?
My main interest is doing maps for routing which means I need an option 
to add meta data for each road segment (name, street numbers, connection 
to other segments, etc'). The approach I'm thinking of is having a 
server which will receive GPS tracks, transfer them to road segments and 
nodes and merge with current map. I also think that it is important to 
use postgis database as there are already many tools which can connect 
to it and allow viewing (mapserver) or editing (qgis, uDig, etc').
How does this fit to openstreetmap?

Thanks,

Ehud.
