We had a nice chat with Wikia folks recently about their 'message wall' system which internally is similar to many parts of LQT, but has a nicer notification experience, and hope to steal some ideas from there (though we probably can't take implementation easily as a lot of their code is mixed up with other extensions). As for dates and how many / which devs will be assigned to it I can't say, but it all ties in with just about every other "new editor retention" project. (For instance MoodBar's comments need a better way to get replies and notify the original poster about it.) -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
