Just a quick note: We have connected Fabrice with some German
community members (who were also involved in the ATF5 process) and
they should be in touch about the current state of the discussion
already.
Thanks for thinking of us. ;)

Thanks, you guys!
Kudos to the entire team that created this product. It may have taken us
longer than we hoped, but the results so far seem to validate our
investment.
We're making progress in our conversations with some of the communities that
are still on the fence, and will keep you posted on those discussions. We
may have more good news to share soon, if all goes well. Fingers crossed. :)
Onward!

Yes! So awesome. As a Wikipedian in Residence in my volunteer life, who
edits in many different languages, this just makes life easier.
Great work team! :)

Based on this favorable feedback, we now plan to release Notifications
on most remaining wiki sites in a single day, on Tuesday, October 22.
This includes about 200 Wikipedias we haven't enabled yet, as well as
about 500 'sister projects' in all languages (e.g.: Wikibooks, Wikidata,
Wikisource, Wikispecies, Wikiquote, Wiktionary).
Congratulations to the whole team! It's great to see the progress you've
already made, and that you'll soon be rolling it out as default (with a
couple exceptions).

congrats, this is really exciting.
+1 on asking someone to summarize why dewiki is opposing the release.

Hi folks,
I'm happy to say that we released Notifications on another two dozen wiki
sites today: Albanian, Arabic, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Chinese,
Croatian, Czech, Finnish, Galician, Greek, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuanian,
Malay, Norwegian-Nynorsk, Serbian, Slovak, Slovene, Sorani Kurdish, Thai,
Turkish and Welsh Wikipedias. (1)
We also released a couple bug fixes, such as a popular community request
to show all diff links in bundled messages. (2)
So we have now successfully released the Echo extension on most of the
large Wikipedias and dozens more around the world -- with very positive
community response, as summed up in last week's blog post:

Based on this favorable feedback, we now plan to release Notifications on
most remaining wiki sites in a single day, on Tuesday, October 22. This
includes about 200 Wikipedias we haven't enabled yet, as well as about 500
'sister projects' in all languages (e.g.: Wikibooks, Wikidata, Wikisource,
Wikispecies, Wikiquote, Wiktionary). This represents about 700+ sites total,
leaving only a few wikis disabled, at their community's request.
If you are active in a community that doesn't have Echo enabled yet, we
would be grateful if you could invite volunteers to help with translations
and other tasks in our release checklist. (3)
If you have any questions or comments about enabling Echo on your site,
please leave them on our release discussion page (4), or contact me
directly.
Many thanks to our community liaison Keegan Peterzell and our developer
Benny Situ for all their hard work on these final releases. :)
Best regards,
Fabrice
