[okfn-labs] Recent work on PyBossa

[Daniel Lombraña González]

Hi guys,

I've found today that pybossa.com is almost broken. The API does not work,
at least the search is not working, so PyBossa.JS is failing to get tasks
for people. I've been trying to check out where could be the problem, but
no clue so far. Can you have a look? The latest changes from Nigini and
Gregor in the API and the Sched have been merged into pybossa  so I guess
that could be the problem.

If I have time I'll try to see what is going on during the weekend but I
cannot assure anything.

Cheers,

Daniel

PS: Gregor, as I told you via Skype, amazing job!!!
