Thanks for these links. I believe OpenStreetMap previously had a relationship with Wikimedia Germany and the Toolserver(?). I'm not sure if that endeavor is related to this one. And I'm not sure what the scopes of these projects are. It looks like this new project would be the Wikimedia Foundation acting as both the (tile)server and the client, using data from OpenStreetMap. Is that correct? If so, will the tileserver be considered a public service for use outside of Wikimedia wikis? And will this service be hosted on Wikimedia Labs? Expanding the mediawiki.org and Meta-Wiki pages to include more information about the history here would be great.
