Most of the credit should go to Max for writing a completely new back-end from scratch
that worked around our two biggest blockers:
* API requests on every page load don't scale
* Magnus's Wikidata Game engine wasn't reliable/scalable enough
Also special thanks to Leila for coming up with campaign ideas that would work without a
query service and doing some very thorough QA work that caught some last minute bugs.
I would also like to thank Dario, Magnus, the rest of the kick-ass mobile web team, my
parents, God, and the Foundation!

After a few false starts, the WikiGrok test in stable has finally been activated. This
test is for all logged in users of the mobile site for 1 week. I've updated the test
documentation here:

The test officially went live at 00:41 UTC (20141212004100). We will turn it off next
Thursday.
