I just released version 1.5 which includes two new components for projecting between latitude and longitude and point space.  Also I fixed the data tree structure in the Parsing component.

There are about 120 unique users of Meerkat GIS.  There is one request created per session of use... so as long as Meerkat isn't closed, 1 to 10 hours of usage still only equals 1 request.  Map reloads or new crops do not count as a request.

120 users isn't a lot, but I'm happy to see a diversity of countries using the plugin.  A majority of the US requests are my own beta-tests.  It also seems that usage is pretty consistent by a small portion of the 120 users.  I'm going to guess that 20-40 users are active.  Just so you guys know, I don't get any info regarding locations cropped, specific users, or even what country a specific user is from, the table above is as granular as it gets.

I thought it would be fun to post and see if anyone has anything to say.

Hey all,

Just a note that 1.3 has been released... in one word, branching... now multiple .mkgis files can be run through a single component.
