I have a few questions about the deployment of Vector in Wikipedias in other languages.
1. When does the Foundation plan to perform the switch? 2. At least two major features which were not included in the Beta, were enabled in the English Wikipedia: the new search box with "Go" and "Search" buttons and the collapsible sidebar which hides interlanguage links by default. A significant number of users in en.wikipedia expressed their dissatisfaction with them and with the fact that they were introduced by surprise. They are still not a part of the Beta in other languages. Will they be enabled in other languages when they are switched to Vector? 3. Did anyone consider appointing "Vector migration czars" in Wikipedias in other languages? Because despite what some people might think, quite a lot of speakers of other languages don't bother looking at en.wikipedia and WMF blogs and mailing lists. I wrote a little about the good (IMHO) and the bad (IMHO) features about Vector in the Village Pumps of Wikipedias in languages that i know - Hebrew, Russian and Catalan. I can report that there are a couple of JavaScript gurus in he.wikipedia who have a positive attitude towards Vector and who gradually adapt the gadgets to it, and there are a few other JS gurus who hate Vector and who don't want to bother about it and recommend everyone to stay with Monobook. (Although my attitude may seem negative, i actually belong to the first camp.) The situation is similar in the Russian Wikipedia. 4. Finally, does the Foundation plan to gather any other feedback from other language Wikipedias except the "Beta retention rate"? Thanks in advance. -- אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי Amir Elisha Aharoni http://aharoni.wordpress.com "We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace." - T.
