* (erikrose) chardet has moved to a dedicated GitHub organization, and I've knighted 3 new maintainers. A new release is out.

* Whatsdeployed - Or shall we completely abandon all hope in Stackato?
* It should be green.
** New version of Stackato coming up: moving from 2.6.7 to 2.10.6 http://docs.stackato.com/reference/release-notes.html
* Playdoh-lib - replace with a requirements script or slim down gradually?
* (erikrose) Slow file writes on Vagrant under OS X. Turned out to be a combination of NFS and, apparently, the 10.8.5 upgrade. Removed NFS from DXR's Vagrantfile so others don't suffer my fate.
* npm registry downtime - what to do?
* (erikrose) [https://github.com/erikrose/shiva Shiva] doesn't quite exist yet, but we've been talking so much about deployment that it's time to mention it before somebody else starts over from scratch. Will probably spend Friday Hackternoon on it.
