Wikipedia has implemented a Slippymap using OpenLayers so I was wondering if the code/method is publically available? I'm interested in adding that functionality to osm.is since it will encourage people to use an OSM map rather than the other non-free maps available for Iceland. I also know that some of the people in the Icelandic Wikipedia would be interested since it will encourage people to check out articles on is.wikipedia.
Are you referring to the "Wikipedia-World" map originally developed for the German Wikipedia? [1][2] It makes use of [3][4] for generating the article layer and [5] for the WIWOSM [6] layer.
Could you help me find the source code for both the OpenLayers layer and the server-side code which produces the coordinates of Wikipedia articles in a certain area? I guess Wikipedia wouldn't like me to use the resources of toolserver.org for it.
The Toolserver does allow accounts for OSM development [7], but it'll be phased out later this year in favor of Wikimedia Labs, which presumably won't support non-Wikimedia-related tools.
