I never liked the idea of LiquidThreads.
IMHO Wikipedia should have had a forum from the start. If not for the wiki-fundamentalism and discussion pages our community could be 10 times larger.

I asked Brandon Harris, one of the Foundation developers working on this, and here's what he said:

I'm not on Foundation-l.
LQT has been put on hold. It is now a "Frontier" project.

LQT has been put on hold. It is now a "Frontier" project.
To clarify:
Frontier Projects are investment areas that could help us make leaps towards our strategic goals, but which come with some risk and complexity. These are areas toward which the Wikimedia Foundation will invest some resources, typically involving considerable prototyping and data analysis to better understand impact and risks. [1]
We're not adding resources to LQT at present, but we've also not put the project on hold. Andrew Garrett continues to be assigned to it as contractor. His current priorities are here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LiquidThreads/Milestones
After the most recent Brandon/Andrew/team meeting, it was decided that LQT needed some fundamental re-architecturing work for us to be able to build the kind of user experience we want, and that's what Andrew's currently focused on.
It's not getting the resource push it would need to reach major milestones quickly -- just because we don't have the resources (see [1] for where most resources are going and why). But the work is continuing and we'll be able to ramp up resourcing if/when we progress in other areas.

Since the subject was raised: I would happily test it in an RTL environment. If it is being developed, whether slowly or quickly, RTL should be kept in mind, and i'd like to help Andrew and Brandon with it. To let me do this, please install LQT on he.wikinews, a low-traffic Wikimedia project. There's a bug about it: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27937
