A portal for data consumers would be most welcome, just not run by OSMF and our volunteers (our manpower and money is sufficient to run a portal for mappers but not one for end users too). You must be aware that if you target end users, you'll have to answer questions like "where is your aerial imagery", "why don't you have feature <X> that <other_mao_portal> has", etc. - this is going to be a whole new project to its own, with its own support staff, its own help site, its own developers, its own servers, its own admins. I think setting up such a site is not a bad idea, if someone can think of a way to raise the money needed and how to finance it long-term. It could be done by anyone (and if it existed, we could send anyone who comes to OSM complaining about lack of user friendliness there), but it hasn't been done yet. OSMF lacks the resources to do it but it is not something that OSMF has to do because it doesn't require any kind of privileged access to the web site.
