Hi,
I wrote the "new beta feature" line with the future tense, to match
the recurring "The new version of MediaWiki will be on [...]" item
above. This seemed logical to me, because when the message is
delivered on Monday the feature will not yet be available, but will
become available during the week (Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday) as the
deployments roll out to each group of wikis. I think that is the
intended use of that section, but possibly Ive misunderstood?
Hmmm, Ive now looked through the last few issues, and I see a slight
mix of present and future tense in the "Changes this week" section
(e.g #34 says "You can soon watch when something is added to or
removed from a category"), but mostly present tense. I agree this is
worth clarifying/standardizing in future issues.
HTH, Quiddity
