VisualEditor is still in development. MediaWiki provide an extension so that non Wikimedia sites can start to use it but as of June 2014 this extension has required mw 1.24 https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension%3AVisualEditor&diff=1021728&oldid=1021727 Any version that worked with mw 1.23 was considered unstable and hence Grant was unwilling to install it for OSM's wiki. I don't blame Grant - he works hard to keep everything up and running and as such a "stable" version is a reasonable request. If anything it's the visualeditor developers who need to hurry up and stop pushing the requirements up - mw 1.22, mw 1.23, mw 1.24, ... when will it stop!! Rob
