Hi Ryan, One question: Does "As needed, assist with individual language ​We don't have the technical resources to deploy mapframe to any additional wikis at this time. If a wiki wants to deploy mapframe on their site, they can do it on their own—similar to what Swedish Wikipedia accomplished.[1] If severe bugs occur, we'll try our best to get them fixed; such as maps aren't rendering from the tile servers. We just don't have the technical resources to do any minor bug fixes, feature requests or any new deployments right now.
