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.
