Following up on this thread: 1. I'm continuing to find that VE's table editor is a significant improvement over the Wikitext editor for typical tasks. I'm looking forward to the day when I can copy and paste formatted spreadsheet data from places like Google Sheets, ODS, and Excel into VE and have them convert fully into Wikimarkup.
2. I have a recently-approved IEG [1] to create a series of modular video tutorials about Wikipedia editing, including the use of VisualEditor. The preparation for this project has been happening for quite awhile. The goal is to have a series of video modules be published in 2016, and to have the videos produced in such a way that multilingual translation is possible. A number of Wikipedians have volunteered to assist with translation efforts; the languages with translation volunteers are currently Spanish, German, Greek, Czech, Arabic, and Armenian. Anyone who wants to volunteer for translation assistance is welcome!
