The folks at www.openrouteservice.org are using geoserver as a WMS server and IIRC they plan to expose that interface as well (currently it is somewhat meshed up with their routing engine). It seems to me that their geolocation is only a few kilometres away from the original poster (Ugo) so why not meet them for lunch. There's also working UMN Mapserver installations with OSM data, mostly running off ready-made shapefiles (get them from download.geofabrik.de) - I assume that like Mapserver, Geoserver can either run directly off a small shape, or else you pop the shape into a PostGIS and work from there. I don't think there are many people who access OSM raw data through WFS although it would of course be theoretically possible. Any conversion OSM-to-WFS would have to be heavily parametrised (which OSM elements to export an which OSM tags to use for classification etc) and thus difficult to do in a generic way, but I'd love to see somebody do it properly ;-) I can't post this to the geoserver list (not subscribed there) so maybe someone can forward.
