No new features last week as we continued picking away at some big long-term improvements. Interested in what we’re up to and wondering if you can help out? Read on to learn more about our meetups and open source community.

We’ve been getting inquiries from organizations interested in running their own version of MuckRock or FOIA Machine, or in helping us update the feature sets of the sites to meet some specific needs. If you’re interested, please get in touch: We’d love to discuss ways to make that happen.

Last week, we rolled out a couple improvements related to communications, including giving you a helpdesk ticket number when you email in or use the “Get Help” button. We also implemented some changes to help improve onboarding in the future.

Last week, no new features on MuckRock were released, but we did give ONA attendees a first sneak peak at the new DocumentCloud.

Last week, we released a fix to stop certain news article header images from getting improperly compressed. We also worked on GovLens design updates and improved the release pipeline.
