Fantastic. What a great teamn to work with.
We definitely need multiple reading-levels for articles, which involves
some namespace & interface magic, and new norm settings around what is

side of MediaWiki (though they include some excellent successes imo).
Where does that fit into the research-practice-MW-WP roadmap?
