This bug is still a problem

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50441

And is a major cause of the rollout to IP-editors to be delayed

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Warning: Visual Editor - turn it on and it seems you can't turn it off!

2013-07-05 Thread Paul Foord
In Chrome there is a tab 'Edit source' which is my default, the visual
editor is difficult to use, or use effectively.

[Wikimediaau-l] Reminder: Wikimedia Australia monthly open meeting

2013-07-05 Thread Craig Franklin
Hi All,

Just a quick reminder that the monthly Wikimedia Australia public meeting
will be taking place tomorrow at 3pm AEST (2:30pm ACST, 1pm AWST) on IRC at
#wikimedia-au.  This is your opportunity to quiz members of the management
committee on issues relating to the chapter.

It has been an eventful month, some suggested topics for discussion are:

   - Wikimedia Australia's charity status being approved
   - Upcoming annual plan and FDC applications
   - Rule changes for the next AGM
   - World War One editathon
   - ...any other topic you'd like to discuss.

As usual, if you have any specific questions for the committee members
ahead of time, it would be appreciated if they could be provided to the
relevant person ahead of time so that we can give you a proper answer on
the day and not have to take it on notice.

Cheers,
Craig Franklin
President - Wikimedia Australia
