Personally I would urge much focus. Creating a beta feature with a "fixed
header element that allows someone to report an issue on their current
page" seems like overkill. It solves a problem the beta feature discussions
forums already solve and I'm already stretched thin in what I am being
asked to do.

The only real reason to have a beta feature here is if we plan on enabling
mediawiki ui form elements everywhere, which is what I thought we were
working for. This would be a super simple beta feature to knock up as
currently it is only turning on a global variable, the only hard bit
creating an image for it to show up on the beta features preference page.

I worry that currently no one is looking at the website Matt setup, so I'd
be keen to explore a way of getting this project more visibility and keep
it moving whilst there is still momentum.

A number of critical issues with new layout were identified (e.g. on action=delete, action=history, Special:Log, …). Are these being worked on or tracked somewhere? I think we should fix the obvious problems before we start even talking about making this a BetaFeature, or we risk the communities rightfully raging at us for deploying completely broken software again.
