Hi all!

Thanks for using MapComplete. It has been quite a ride since it's inception, a bit over a year ago. MapComplete has grown significantly recently, which you can read more about on in my diary entry.

Furthermore, NicoleLaine made a really cool new theme about postboxes, so make sure to check it out!
