Thank you Fabrice and the Echo team.
The deployment is a success on French Wikipedia. A (power) user write on the village pump a good summary of the POV of our community about Notifications:
"As I see the enthusiasm about this feature, I think us, old users who usually doesn't accept novelty, have changed our minds for the first time" (the exact translation is quite difficult tl do).
This is great. This is an achievement :-)

Hooray, Echo! :) Great work, everyone – it's wonderful to see this feature on more wikis. We're hoping to release Echo to Wikimedia mobile sites soon, and it'll be extremely useful to have it be available on more than just mobile enwiki.

Hi folks,
I'm happy to announce that we just released Notifications on our first non-english Wikipedias today!
The Echo extension is now deployed on the French, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese and Swedish Wikipedias, where users seem to be enjoying some
of
the tool's new features, such as the Mention and Thanks notifications.
Our next major deployment to another half-dozen non-English Wikipedias
will
take place on Sep. 17, as outlined in this proposed Echo release plan:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo/Release_Plan_2013
We're delighted to bring these new features to a broader community and
would
like to take this opportunity to thank all the folks who made this deployment possible.
First off, kudos to Benny Situ for his fine development work on this
final
leg of the Notifications project, as well as Erik Benhardson, Matthias Mullie and Dario Taraborelli for their invaluable support. Next, my
deepest
appreciation to our Community team for their gracious advice and help in orchestrating this multi-site release: Philippe Beaudette, Maggie
Dennis,
Jan Eissfeld, Sherry Snyder, Keegan Peterzell, Patrick Earley and Anna Koval.
Last but not least, we are very grateful to our community champions for
each
language, including: Benoît Evellin, Cantons de l'Est, Nou Nouill, Tisza Gergő, Tamas Meszoly, Bartosz Dziewoński, Tar Lócesilion, Oona Castro, Henrique Andrade and Jan Ainali -- to name but a few.
Thank you all for going out of your way to bring notifications to these communities. It has been a pleasure and an honor to work with each of
you,
and I look forward to more collaborations in the future.
Please let us know if you have any questions about this new release.
Enjoy
the new features!
Fabrice, on behalf of the E2 team
P.S.: You can now track notifications activity for each language on
these
dashboards, which refresh daily, thanks to Dario:
