A few things remain outstanding from last week's plans, but other things got accomplished that made up for them. At a very high level, the last 7 days saw the following:

1. Saw the first bug fix to live systems (server management stuff last weekend)  
2. We got the Announcements content back up on www.playhawken.com (it's just text for now)
3. We're well on our way to identifying the cause and some fixes for long-standing mech problems and syncing issues; more work is needed, but there has been some good progress.  
4. Our support site and operations are getting up to speed, so feel free to submit support tickets.
5. Source code looks to be in good shape
6. I read Hawken: Genesis.  If you haven't, go get it; it's good.
7. New users can now access the server browser immediately
8. Server Region redesign is now live
9. New users now choose their default region the first time they play
10. Analytics systems are usable
11. Singapore Servers!
12 More Servers in Europe
 
Challenges:
1. Build systems will require a lot more work than I had hoped for to get them back up and running.  It's going to be a pretty extensive rebuild of the old network.  It's a matter of time though.  But this is the big one.
 
Goals for this next week (they're fuzzier than in the past):
1. Release Steam Bundle
2. Work more on build systems
3. Roadmap and planning
4. Work on gameserver hosting improvements (better machines, cost)
5. Private server admin site
