Hoi,
Terry with respect, an alpha release that is not even ready to be used in
the scripts and languages of Wikipedia is not worthy of the designation

Hoi,
I agree that it is of great use to any and all projects. No argument there.
My point is that when it works for any Devanagari language Wikipedia it
will work equally well for the corresponding Devanagari Wikibooks.
The one thing particular to the English Wikipedia is that it has its own

Well, let me disagree.
A project like Wikisource could potentially benefit more than Pedia from a
visual editor,
given the amount of time we spend in formatting our books...
If we could reproduce easily frontpages and typography,
we coul
Yay! Great news, thank you so much for your outstanding work. \o/
I was just about to ask the same question as Stevie: Would you like us
to spread the word publicly or better keep it more internal/to the

I just made my first, very minor, edit using the Visual Editor alpha. I
feel paraphrasing Neil Armstrong is appropriate here:
