Great, thank you! :)

As of today, interactive (Kartographer) maps no longer display in the language

automatically embeds dynamic maps right on a wiki page, is now live on most 
Wikipedias that lacked the feature. (Not included in the mapframe launch are 
nine Wikipedias [1] that use the stricter version of Flagged Revisions).

Joe, thanks for heeding community's wish to have better maps, and
delivering, all within the short span of ~3.5 months. Very impressive
achievement!  How can the community encourage WMF to do more map work
beyond the June deadline, similar to how foundation continues to work on
improving search, Visual Editor, and other tools?  Thanks!

contributions and advice of our many map-loving volunteers, including Yurik, 
Framawiki, Naveenpf, TheDJ, Milu92, Astirlin, Evad37, Pigsonthewing, Mike Peel, 
Eran Roz,  Gareth and Abbe98. My apologies to anyone I’ve missed. 

The Map Improvements 2018 [7] project wraps up at the end of June, so please 
give internationalized maps and mapframe a try soon and give us your feedback 
on the project talk page [8]. We’re listening.
