Hi everyone,

We're planning to deploy Lua to a long list of wikis on Monday,
February 18, 23:00-01:00 UTC (stretching into Tuesday UTC), including
English Wikipedia.

Details here:

Jan Kučera (User:Kozuch) has placed notifications on many of the
wikis. Those notifications and general communications listed here:

I didn't see it in the docs above, so thought I'd ask... Is this going to include rollout of the CodeEditor extension, or will that be done separately?

This is a really exciting deployment for the projects. We're really
looking forward to seeing the great things that people do with this,
and looking forward to making editing and previewing more responsive
for template-heavy pages.

This is exciting! Do we have plans for further measurement when it comes to Lua's impact on page load times/publishing any results so far? In addition to the general benefit of not having to program using wikitext/parser functions, I seem to remember the performance improvements being the big selling point of Scribunto.

Best of luck on the launch,

Steven Walling
