Hi folks,
  If you use the raw SQL dumps (MySQL or Postgres-compatible), sometime early next week you will notice a change.  We have split up the "gcd" Django app (the tables with gcd_* prefixes) in order to make it more manageable.  Most of this involves tables that are not in the public dump, such as account management tables.  However, the following public tables are changing:

gcd_country is renamed to stddata_country
gcd_language is renamed to stddata_language

The IDs of the countries and languages do not change.  This is a simple RENAME TABLE operation in MySQL.  Foreign keys that pointed to the gcd_* tables will now point to the stddata_* tables with the same numeric value.

We apologize for any disruption this might cause.  This change helps position us for more efficient and effective development in the near future.

thanks,
-henry
