Glad to hear of this idea. We've discussed potential collaborations with
OSM in Cascadia Wikimedians meetings.

Hi, just a quick note: as part of general search and
discovery work, me and
Yuri are resurrecting the project to have OpenStreetMap in Wikimedia
starting in April. Because the initial part of this work will include
researching options which will influence precise goals and this is yet to
be done, we still can't commit to a precise timeline, but as a ballpark
estimate I personally want to aim for serving PNG tiles at a reasonable,
though not necessarily "dynamic maps on every WP page" scale by the end of
Q4. Vector/multilingual maps would be the next stage. We will be mostly
using Phabricator for planning,
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/openstreetmap/ is my first pass on
the outline of things to be done.
Your comments and suggestions would be highly appreciated, please share
your thoughts, ideas of projects that might use these maps, or just
merciless critique! :D
