Hi folks,
Just a quick note to let you know that we just released Notifications on another batch of
wiki sites today: Catalan, Danish, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Norwegian (Bokmål), Telugu,
Ukrainian and Vietnamese Wikipedias. (1)
We also released a couple bug fixes, including a long-awaited improvement to HTML email
notifications on mobile phones (2), where messages are now easier to read than before.
The Echo extension has now been successfully deployed on over two dozen Wikipedias, where
notifications have been really well received (1). Going forward, we plan to significantly
increase the number of sites for each release, as outlined in this Echo release plan:

Note that we will consolidate future releases every two weeks from now on. For example, we
plan to deploy on two dozen more sites on October 8th (e.g. Chinese, Greek, Turkish
Wikipedias). And we aim to release notifications on most 'sister projects' on
October 22 (e.g.: Wikibooks, Wikidata, Wikisource, Wikispecies, Wikiquote, Wiktionary).
Many thanks to our developer Benny Situ and community liaison Keegan Peterzell for making
these deployments possible. :)
Enjoy ...
Fabrice
