These specific topics are mainly a problem of

de.wikipedia has other troubles and one of it is the problem that often
german language news agencies are saying "they promised $technical-novelties
long time ago, but failed to keep that promise up to now". And this is at
least partly our fault cause we quite often said curious reporters what we
are dreaming about and not so much about novelties that currently happened
(for example the Gadget extension from Duesentrieb has quite some impact on
editors, not on readers, but it is probably too techie to be of interest for
news people ;-).
With the delays, a lot of the problem is the Foundation's two
technical employees, Brion and Tim, being waaaay busy with fundraiser
and moving (St Petersburg to San Francisco). So when people ask, I've
been saying "two technical employees, fundraiser duties, sorry for
delay, give us money and it'll be faster ;-p"
