According to Maxmind (our GeoIP database provider) their database now includes IPv6. I have no idea if we automatically download updates, but if not, we should update the database and cross our fingers.

Maxmind IPs look good to me, also lat and long are given. It is enverving to get always announcments about the US if you live in Europe. So please fix it.

For me this IPv6 geolocator works well. There is no big difference to my real position.

Does that imply that the problem cannot be reproduced anymore?

Sorry, I mean that the tables of maxmind have a good positon stored for my address block. The MediaWiki locator still does not work with IPv6.

I guess it isn't difficult updating that database? Whom do we have to CC to get this done?

It's more than updating the database. The DNS software itself does not support it at all at this moment.
