Hi Yurik

I'm Joe, the product manager of Collaboration team. We've been asked to step in during the next few months to work on maps—in response to the winning Wishlist item, though our work probably won't be limited to Wishlist. I wanted to say hi, and thank you for reaching out with advice on T141335. I know the maps stack is in some large part your baby, so your participation as we try to make some fixes will be a big help.

This engagement was a sudden shift for Collab team, so we're working now with the former Maps team members to nail down our goals and plans—to gauge what we can do in the limited amount of time we have, and how best to stabilize the tech so it won't need too much maintenance when we roll off again. As soon as we have a better sense of where we're headed we'll make an announcement to the community. We'll try to say at least something this week. But in the meantime I just wanted to make contact and let you know that maps activity is heating up (at least for a time). Cheers.
