Beta Features is ready for testing now on MediaWiki.org [2]. This Thursday , we plan to also deploy it on Wikimedia Commons and MetaWiki. After careful testing, we aim to release it on all wikis worldwide on 21 November, 2013.
Here are the first features you can test this week:
- Media Viewer — view images in large size or full screen [3]
- VisualEditor Formulæ — edit algebra or equations on your pages [4]
- Typography Refresh — make text more readable (coming Thursday) [5]
Congrats on the release Fabrice, Mark, Jared, and everyone. I think this is a huge step forward.
One question: do we plan to actually add the "Beta" personal toolbar item perpetually for all users? I was unaware this was a part of the planned feature set.
