Hoi, What the current state of play is that the WIkimaps people have it that it cannot be done. That it will be denied.
I don't understand your point. To be honest, I don't understand the relation between Wikimaps (I understand it's this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikimaps ) and OpenStreetMap
So no. Could we have it and if so, THEN we may ask he Haitian community if they want it. The same thing applies to other Wikipedias that want to show maps of Haiti.
On the Italian Wikipedia we can see OSM maps of Haiti (see https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiti on the top right the link "Mappa" will popup the OSM map of Haiti); I guess the community asked at some point. I don't know how it works on mobiles, and whether it would work on Wikipedia Zero programs, but on a technical level it is definitely doable.
