Sounds good – but let's talk about who's going to be doing this work and when :)

This quarter, we're planning to launch WikiGrok at 100% on enwiki and release a new pilot feature (Collections) on mobile web. Jon R will also be away for the month of February.

Jon: are you saying you want to commit to this work now, given what needs to get done on Collections + the experimental infobox editing stuff you've been doing in 20% time + your vacation time?

Ed & Bartosz, how much additional support would you need from a MFE frontend dev to make a standalone VE on mobile + MF --> OOUI widget conversion happen? 100%? A bit of help here and there? None?

My gut says that if the VE team needs more than limited ad hoc support from MFE engineers for this project, we should spend Q3 creating the backlog and do the work in Q4.

That pretty much sums it up Jon, thanks for that.

My vision is that ideally VE standalone would work in mobile on it's own, and so the MW integration would be as light as possible: connecting up the load/save APIs and placing the VE instance in the right place.

Converting MF to OOUI widgets is also a great goal, and will make moving code between the the extensions a lot easier.

I'm CCing in Bartosz as he's doing great work on OOUI at the moment, and it would be great if he could work with mobile to make sure we have all the widgets and browser support tricks we need for touch devices.

Ideally all the existing code should live in VisualEditor and be based
on OOJS UI. In the future we could also imagine the wikitext editor in
mobile becoming part of the VisualEditor tool itself.
