Roan, thanks for these great summaries.

In related news, it seems many (most? all?) LiquidThreads pages on
mediawiki.org have been converted to Flow.

Perhaps Template:FlowMention should be mentioned on Extension:Flow [1]. It
is automatically created when you run maintenance/update.php (slick!), but
automatic template creation is unexpected.

Where is the magic of typing @ and getting a VE user auto-complete
mentioned?  Extension:Flow says
  $wgFlowHelpPage = //
www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Flow
but that page doesn't exist. I know Flow is it's so easy no documentation
is necessary, but how would people know to type it?
