2. Jon Brisbin is writing Riak-related code again :)
   → He updated his Riak and RabbitMQ exchange
   → He also updated his Misultin Riak Core VNode Dispatcher

4. Gary Barlow wrote a post about the architecture of Picle app and how he’s planning to move from MySQL to Riak if/when the time is right.

5. A new Question on SA that needs answering:
   → How do you find the size of a bucket in Riak

A few issues to catch up on
