Posting fortnightly updates about the VisualEditor on this list is probably not too spammy, as long as the goal of this list is remembered: it's not so much for technologists, as it is for ambassadors. Telling people on this list about newly deployed features and inviting them to test them on a demo wiki every two weeks is very useful. Updating about the C++ implementation of Parsoid is less useful, however. It is probably interesting to people on wikitech-l, but it doesn't have any immediate action item for the ambassadors - there's not much to pass on to their respective editing communities and there isn't anything to test. But something like this would be useful: "We rewrote the parser in C++, and it's supposed to be 40% faster now, so please come to test its performance and see if it still handles the features that your project needs correctly." Hope it helps. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
