More on that.  If you haven't kept a watch on the following page, and you're
really interested in what were planning on, I'd suggest you put this one in
your watchlist:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Flagged_protection_and_patrolled_revisions/Trial

This past week, I've updated the sections on "Reviewing" and created a new
"Initial article count limits" section, as well as some shuffling and
trimming.   We want to make sure that what we have passes muster from a
simplicity standpoint, so you'll notice that what's there is greatly
simplified from some of the other proposals that have been floated.

The idea here is to make sure we have a plan ready to go if the trial were
ready to start tomorrow.   That's not to say that the trial *will* start
tomorrow, but we're getting close enough to being ready that we need to lock
these things down, because there are very few things that require code
changes that we'll be willing to consider at this point.

If you have any comments/suggestions/complaints/etc about the policy, please
reply here, or put them on the talk page for the trial.

Thanks!
Rob

[WikiEN-l] Flagged Protection update for May 13

2010-05-13 Thread William Pietri

As requested, here's the weekly Flagged Protection update.

As I mentioned last week, we are starting pre-rollout activities while
we finish up the last bits of development. Now that the successful
launch of the new enwiki UI is out of the way, we will be getting
together with Rob H. and the rest of the ops ninjas to discuss release
dates.

Also upcoming is a final pass at the terms and text, some more fiddling
with cross-browser CSS and JavaScript issues, some work with the
community to figure out the remaining details of the community side of
the trial (keep an eye on RobLa's activity there), and a call for the
nice people at the German Wikipedia to try our shiny new software with
their config and make sure we haven't broken anything for them.
(Regarding that, if some German speaker reading this would like to help
set up the test site, we could use a hand. Contact me via direct email.)

The discussion of rollout means that we think the software is, some
minor nits aside, basically ready. Want to be sure? You can test it out
here, and we'll even give you admin rights [1] to do so:

To see what we've changed this week, there's a list here:

To see the upcoming work, it's listed in our tracker, under Current and
Backlog:

We expect to release to labs again next week, and each week thereafter
until this goes live on the English Wikipedia.

William

[1] You know that you [2] have always wanted admin rights!

[2] Except those of you who already have them. But for you, we have a
whole wiki that you can go wild on. You can even have a wheel war if you
want and we won't tell a soul.
