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
