While the technology is somewhat similar, I don't think it makes sense to
jam this into the mod_tile/renderd stack we'll most likely use, a separate
service would seem like less PITA in this case.

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
Commons also needs a tileserver, for zooming of huge images such as
high-resolution artwork scans. I wonder if there is some overlap.
