* '''MediaWiki upgrade:''': Sarkarverse's platfrom MediaWiki was upgraded from MW 1.21 to MW 1.22 in the first week of March. This upgrade brought both benefits and hassles. With the upgrade, we got a faster site, some errors were fixed — these were benefits. The upgrade also brought some new errors, and we had to update a series of modules and templates — these were hassles.
* ''' 6-hours outage''': On March 26 Sarkarverse suffered a 6-hour outage. It was a server-side issue. Upon investigation, it was found that the site server was overloaded by extremely heavy traffic. In the not-too-distant future, Sarkarverse will require a more robust server.  
* '''Scribunto Lua— No more''': Scribunto is a core extension of MediaWiki that uses the Lua programming language. From the very first day we have been facing difficulties with this extension. In mid-November (2013) it was fixed. Now the error is back, and it is affecting hundreds of pages and templates. Our volunteers are working to fix it.
* '''Lack of editors''': Although Sarkarverse is going to be 5 months' old this March, the site is still badly lacking active editors. If you are not engaged with editing, please consider helping out.
* '''Sarkarverse social news''': Sarkarverse Facebook page touched 350 likes on March 14.
