  • Geowiki stopped updating on December 18th because one of the servers it was using was read-only, that's now fixed
  • Piwik has been optimized and is working reasonably well with the 15.wikipedia.org website, other **low** traffic apps/sites can use piwik now if they wish (already talking to reading about doing this with their iOS client)
