Hello Ambassadors! Below if the full Deployment Highlights update email for next week, but I'll summarize a few things quickly that are (probably) more of interest to you:
1) The Wikidata client will be rolled out to English Wikipedia on Monday and then if all is well, to all WPs on Wednesday. This enables the ability to use Wikidata properties in infoboxes. A couple useful/helpful urls: * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Technical_proposal#Phase_2:_Infoboxes * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Deployment_Questions#Phase_2_.28infoboxes.29 2) ArticleFeedbackTool will be reenabled on English Wikipedia for a subset of articles on Wednesday April 24th. * Full details: http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/AFT5-release 3) Parsoid will be deployed (an updated version) to 14 additional wikis on Thursday April 25th, the wikis are: de, nl, fr, it, ru, es, sv, pl, ja, ar, he, hi, ko, and zh. 4) Notifications (previously "Echo") will be released to English Wikipedia on Thursday with the features described in: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/ee/2013-April/000373.html and http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/ee/2013-April/000390.html As always, please don't hesitate to ask for clarifications here.
