I stuck a couple notes on my blog (also some stuff about upcoming goodness in StatusNet 1.0 in that post!) - http://leuksman.com/log/2011/03/07/hotel-mediawiki-you-can-check-out-but-you-can-never-leave/ My overarching goal for MediaWiki (and elsewhere in Wikimedia-land) is making sure that the software stays out of peoples' way when they're trying to get stuff done. There's a lot of low-hanging fruit in the UI, but making the whole markup-editing pipeline smooth is going to be an interesting process, especially when we really start diving into the terrors of document structure and reconceiving templates and the parser internals for a human-friendly world -- and migrating to it over time... muwahahahahaha :D -- brion ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
