Hi all,
Around what date or time is the WMF targeting for the release of this

I put model writing a new article with visual editor on my to-do list. It

I don't know that there is a next step. The WMF has clearly indicated they
will not budge on the solution that the high-level Wikipedia community says
is needed. I have qualms myself about the way the community operates at
times but covering ACTRAIL and New Page Patrol at the Signpost felt like an

Hmm. I was annoyed at Yuvi a couple of weeks ago because he promised he'd
