TL;DR: VisualEditor is going to be enabled to Page: pages today Wednesday. It's 
still very buggy, use at our own risks.

Hello everyone,

Just an email to warn you that an early version of the Page: pages support for 
the VisualEditor is going to be deployed on todayWednesday, 29 June. It still 
contains a lot of bugs that should be fixed in the following weeks.

Some known issues:
- The switching from Wikitext editor to VisualEditor is still buggy (only 
content of the page body is kept and set into the header in the VE interface).
- On loading of page which latest modification is before tomorrow Wednesday 
there are artefacts on saving. We have made a change in the Parsoid parser to 
make VisualEditor work but we have not been able to purge the Parsoid cache. It 
leads to artefact added to the wikitext on saving and usually to the merge of 
the footer in the body.
- When HTML is not balanced in each section (header/body/footer) e.g. when you 
have "<div style="color:blue;">" in the header and "</div>" in the footer, the 
VisualEditor breaks the page (usually you get  "<div 
style="color:blue;"></div>" in the header and nothing in the footer). This 
issue won't be fixed anytime soon but we plan to provide efficient ways to do 
styling on the Page: pages body (and probably also on the Header/Footer).
- The loading of VisualEditor with ?veaction=edit in the UI often fails (code 
review in progress)
- When creating a new page the text layer included in the PDF/DjVu file is not 
loaded (code review in progress)
- The proofreading quality selector is not very understandable and should be 
redesigned.

Please report any other issue on Phabricator [1] with as projects both 
"ProofreadPage" and "VisualEditor"
