1. The number of languages into which the software is translated - over 300
Citation needed. ;) Yes let's add that number but all the better if we can have an exact number and the source to update it.
2. A lot of unique internationalization features that we support thanks to being so massively multilingual - plural, gender, custom grammar rules, mostly automatic RTL adjustment, script conversion for Chinese, Serbian and some other languages, web fonts, web-based keyboard layouts and then some.
Won't fit in the slides but I'm adding this to the notes. Very useful!
Also on JavaScript - ResourceLoader is probably worth mentioning, even though it's not so new.
We have already enough pieces exposed for a 10min session. Probably not an entry point either.
* Page 9 - Consider mentioning Firefox OS in addition to Android and iOS. Brion and Patrick already poked in that direction. (And well, it's a FLOSS conference, but since you mention iOS, consider mentioning the Windows Mobile app too.)
I asked Brion about the main focus. He mentioned Android and iOS. This is also how it looks like when you come from the outside. I'd rather explain this story and encourage others to cover all the rest.
(Don't get me wrong: I don't use any of these and in fact my pocket is ready for Peak whenever it goes on sale). :)
* Page 11 - some other programming languages lurk in extensions, too, like OCaml (Math), Perl (EasyTimeline) and Lua (Scribunto). There are people who are quite passionate about each of them - they'll be happy to hear them mentioned and may want to join the development because of this.
Agreed, and I will add to the notes data from https://www.ohloh.net/p/mediawiki-extensions-wmf/analyses/latest/languages_summary
* Page 12 - I suspect that the LOC count includes translations :)
Any better number?
