Comment (by prettyboymp):

 attachment:112.2.diff includes the following updates:

 * A new route integrated with the rest-api to create a JSON endpoint on
 each site that the customizer integration uses to retrieve the site data.
 * Filters for year, theme, and css_proprocessor when searching for sites
 to clone within the customizer
 * WP Cron handling to keep the site list transient up to date.

 Some notes about the WP Cron:  Since nearly 100 WordCamp sites are being
 generated each year, having a single cron event that retrieved all of the
 sites and dumped them into cache didn't seem like a long term solution.
 Instead, I setup a daily cron event that will prime the most recent 500
 WordCamps into cache.  If there are more sites to prime after that point,
 a second event will be scheduled 10 minutes later to update the next set
 of sites.  This will repeat until the list is exhausted.
