TL;DR: who's testing out the non-Knockout approaches? Much thanks to everyone who corrected & enlightened me! I was especially grateful to Chris Steipp's explanation:

My point was that you need several > MakeWhateverSafe functions, and have to use them in the right context. and Peter Kaminski's reminder of the "separation of concerns" concept, and C. Scott's explanation of how we could balance usability for human editors against easy integration with VE and executability http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/wikitech/445152#445152 . Thanks also to Nuria Ruiz and others for the corrections on security stuff! Now that we know the mobile team is checking out the KnockoutJS idea in late April and reporting back to the list in late April/early May, I'm wondering about something C.

So who is testing out/reporting about the other approaches or implementations? To repeat my question from March 18th: oojs - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOjs_UI -- could use this toolkit with one of the other template approaches, or maybe this is enough by itself! Currently used inside VisualEditor and I am not sure whether any other MediaWiki extensions or teams are using it? Should we try using this in another team? -- Sumana Harihareswara Senior Technical Writer Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
