    Hello!

    As many of you know, the Wikimedia Foundation is now actively engaged
in designing a next-generation discussion and workflow system called
Flow, initially slated to replace user talk pages.  Flow is an ambitious
project (on par with the VisualEditor) and will touch nearly every
aspect of the Wikimedia experience.

    We need ''your'' help and input.  We have started a portal for
information and discussion.

    You can find it on the English Wikipedia here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Flow

    And on MediaWiki here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Flow_Portal

    (We'll be creating one on meta as well).

    At the Flow portal, you can read about what we're doing and why, as
well as play around with an interactive prototype.

    We're desperately interested in your feedback and thoughts.  There are
things that we know, and things that we know that we don't know. But
there are also things that we *don't* know that we don't know.  And we
want to reduce that lack of knowledge.

    We will also be conducting additional office hours for a variety of
timezones - as many as we need to - and will also be open to having
conversations via Google hangouts and/or Skype as need be.  I am always
around on irc (freenode, username "jorm") and am willing to answer any
questions you may have.

    -b.
