[Wikitech-l] Starting conversion of LiquidThreads to Flow at mediawiki.org

LiquidThreads (LQT) has not been well-supported in a long time. Flow is in active development, and more real-world use-cases will help focus attention on the higher-priority features that are needed. To that end, LQT pages at mediawiki.org will start being converted to Flow in the next couple of

At the end of the day, the key is communicating with communities to work things out with them - and that may well have to happen on a project-by-project basis. Finding a mid-size project with a very active admin corps that would be willing to try out whatever you folks come up with is probably a

I share Risker’s concerns here and limiting the anonymity set to the intersection of Tor users and established wiki contributors seems problematic. Also, the bootstrapping issue needs working out and relegating Tor users to second class citizens that need to edit through a proxy seems less than
