+1. I was really happy to see this as well. It should be standard
practice for our organizational community (iow: non-profits who hire
engineers).

That's great to hear, thank you Fundraising Tech! Non-profit fundraising is
a very underserved sector, and CiviCRM is widely used; I'm sure sharing
code back will indirectly advance our mission, and other worthwhile goals.
(nitpick: the demo page of the extension has a typo, communition instead of
communication.)

 Parsing 
* Linter extension is now in beta cluster (ex:
https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:LintErrors )
* Services, VE, and Parsing teams collectively decided to postpone
deployment of splitting data-mw attribute from the HTML for later when it
has higher urgency since Mobile Content Service is already doing this split
on their own and no other Parsoid client wants it, and VE doesn't like it
right now.
* We are still trying to figure out whether we want to use HTML5Depurate
(Java) or a PHP version for our pilot deployment of a Tidy replacement.
* Work ongoing to parse and render language variants in Parsoid (which
includes some fixes to the PHP parser's language variant parsing as well).
Close to being finished.

=== Discovery ===
* No blockers
* Continuing work on crosswiki search and refactoring Special:Search. Load
tests OK, now doing relevancy tests.
* Refactoring query parsing to allow extensions to add search keywords
* Improved handling of characters containing diacritics or accents
* Released tabular and map data
