I agree. Basic functionality has been restored and we can 'do stuff'
even if it's not fancy. That's what's really important. But it might be
a Good Thing to add another page to the special pages section for
technical updates/'what's in the pipeline'/'what we're working on' so
that people can stay informed more easily.
