 * Discussions Mikhail completed a review of the language-identification A/B test (using TextCat). The full report is on Commons.
 * Trey has more language-identification–related stuff: notes on how to introduce confidence to TextCat (comments and ideas especially welcome!), a re-review of the languages of poorly performing queries on English Wikipedia using our now-standard corpus creation process (TL; DR: quite similar to earlier results); and similar first-time reports for Portuguese and Russian Wikipedias, with Japanese and Indonesian in the pipeline.
 * Map's geoshapes service is now available in graphs: Interactive maps with regions
 * Wikivoyage map customizations have moved into the extension code, now available on all WV languages. Customize it via MediaWiki:Kartographer.js and MediaWiki:Kartographer.css
