Geolocation

As usual, geolocation being a fundraising-related thing (first introduced in 2009), there's only mystery around it. Here's some sparse links:

• Analytics/Geolocation, recently published in 2014
• Slowness of GeoIP lookup and workarounds
• gerrit:260316 documents the cookie format
• meta:Geonotice (discussing alternatives to current system for regional-level geolocation)
• "ryan lane says that our geoip service is probably not fine grained enough": meta:IRC office hours/Office hours 2012-01-12
• Extension:CentralNotice might happen to contain some information in a far future.
• meta:MaxMindCityTesting was a test of a geolocation DB data provider
• "Can 3rd parties use bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup" (like ULS on another MediaWiki installation)? No known problems on WMF end.[1]
