During December MaxSem continued work on GeoData. This extension is directly responsible for allowing us to easily store and retrieve GPS coordinates in our databases. Max migrated the extension from implementation, to code review, and finally deployment to EN wiki. It will become 100% production-quality after a few more tweaks and fixes from Max. After those changes we'll continue rollout to the rest of the wikis. The extensions is one of the pre cursors to having the near by feature on our mobile web site.
