[HOT] Mali Activation Follow-up

[Nicolás Alvarez]

Hello Kate,

My crowdsourcing web app is a prototype / proof of concept that went
too far :) I wrote it in literally 3 hours, plus some improvements
later (such as showing 2x2 tiles instead of only 1). It could use
loooots of work.

I'll upload the code to a public repository as soon as I decide a name
(repositories need a name!) and a license :)
