A more detailed status is given on the following page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Platform_Status

The status comes from this page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:Platform_Status
which is edited by hand. From the page:

"This template appears as a little status indicator on the Main Page
and also the Platform Status and Servers pages.

Please update this template if you know what the status of the OSM
platform is. If servers seem to be slow or down, you could verify this
by asking others on IRC and checking downforeveryoneorjustme.com - but
in general be bold! Update this! It won't reflect the current state of
the platform unless people update it.

Please also supply more details on the Platform Status page when updating this."
