I believe OpenStreetMap previously had a relationship

Toolserver's gone, right?
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?
Yes.
If so, will the tileserver be considered a public
service
for use outside of Wikimedia wikis?
TBD.
And will this service be hosted on
Wikimedia Labs?
No, on real hardware.
Expanding the
mediawiki.org and Meta-Wiki pages to
include more
information about the history here would be great.
Hey, we're still working on fulfilling our previous commitments. Everything
will come, just not instantaneously;)
