Yuri, Max -

This is amazing. Congratulations.

I'm reading on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps

> The service is currently in a *experimental* mode meaning that at times
it may be rapidly changing and unstable. Currently, we can only handle
traffic from **.wmflabs.org <http://wmflabs.org>* and**.wikivoyage.org
<http://wikivoyage.org>* (referrer header must be either missing or set to
these values) but we hope to open it up to Wikipedia traffic if we see
enough use.

What's needed to open the new map service to Wikipedia itself?

Alex
