Agreed; while Tech news can help communicate general technical news to Wikimedians, it isn't supposed to be a substitute for targeted communication with specific wikis or language communities. Ultimately, it's the responsibility of the developer (or their product manager / community liaison if they're lucky enough to have one) to make sure users are properly informed of a major technical change they've made. I'm also available to support developers who need help disseminating such information, but I can't do that unless someone asks :) -- Guillaume Paumier _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
