Usually try not to cross-post, but this is as an FYI. If you're a Wikipedia
whose home wiki isn't English, please help us translate if you can, and
keep an eye out for further announcements about exact deployment dates etc.

Subject: Localization and launch of GettingStarted extension outside
English Wikipedia
To: Coordination of technology deployments across languages/projects <

Hi all,
This is just an advance notice that we're getting much closer to being able
to launch GettingStarted,[1] a tool for suggesting tasks to new editors
after they sign up,[2] on non-English Wikipedias.
In the next 24 hours or so, most of our major user-facing changes will be
merged and ready to localize. About 10-15 languages are 80% or better on
translatewiki already, so many are close. The more the better!
Our current plan is to launch initially on all Wikipedias where
localization is complete (or close to it, 90% or better is ideal). That
will likely happen soon after our current iteration of work ends on
February 5th, though I will keep people posted.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
