Forwarding to wikitech-ambassadors for info.

As a note, we hope that switching to provide VisualEditor to all users (other than those who opt-out) will be a success for those wikis below. However, if there is community consensus that your wiki does not want it yet or is not ready, it can of course be reversed to "opt-in" - just file a Bugzilla request or contact your local community liaison.

Yours,

J.
