This sounds great. Are you on board with the quality.wikipedia.org deployment idea? If so, the page on internal could probably use some editing.
I am not sure I understand what your plans are. Until now I thought that we would do a closed beta, prepare press releases during that time and then deploy the feature on de and maybe on en. If I understand you right, you would want to do a closed beta, prepare the press releases and then do an open beta which is advertised on quality.wikipedia.org?
Concerning the page itself I have several doubts. For one thing, starting the page like this is too technocratic and puts us in danger of looking like we never cared about quality before. Maybe we should tone down to a stable-versions-page and prepare a quality.wikipedia.org page conceptually more thoroughly on internal?
On another note, I asked User:Sebmol to code us a vandalismbot. I think that will come very handy in the betatest.
Bye,
Philipp
