I've been out of the loop since January-ish, so I was pleased to see that some headway has been made on implementing FlaggedRevs. I see that a two-month trial on enwiki has been approved by the community:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Flagged_protection_and_patrolled_revisions/Poll But I also see that the implementation has been languishing in flaggedrevs.labs.wikimedia.org pretty much since then. Mutterings on foundation-l suggest that we're close to a finished product that can be taken to trial on enwiki, with William Pietri from the tech team saying this week that his "understanding is that [it] is almost done". At risk of seeming impatient, my question is this: exactly _how_ close are we? I'm quite certain that if the extension was installed today, by tomorrow our community would have the interface and system-message problems ironed out. What takes a team of ten or so a few months to perfect would take a team of hundreds much shorter, surely? We've waited so long for FlaggedRevs. I'm now struggling to see what the delay is. Hoping that somebody who is a bit more knowledgeable on this can provide an update.
