Hello Ambassadors!
Thread below, but, the gist of it is:
On Thursday (Aug 29th) we'll enable the CodeEditor extension for all CSS and Javascript on Wikimedia project sites. This should be a great improvement for people editing code on-wiki.
MZ started a page on metawiki describing CodeEditor and what purpose it serves (thanks MZ!) and was looking for translations and wider exposure. I agreed with him that it's a good idea (better documentation and communication is always good ;) ).
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CodeEditor
With that, I ask: Please do help translate that page and share it where you deem appropriate. Questions here or on the article talk page welcome!
Thanks!
Greg

Without fixing the bug which makes it use spaces instead of tabs? Seriously? https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39616
This bug is now resolved/fixed. :-) Thanks to Alex M. and Ori L. for working on this.
I created https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CodeEditor. Any help getting this page translated and advertised (to the ambassadors mailing list, etc.) would be great. It should possibly be merged with https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CodeEditor in the future, but for now it seemed more right to keep the two separate.
There was a fleeting thought of having the WikimediaMessages extension hook into the CodeEditor extension to add a header message above the edit window if CodeEditor is activated. This header message could be used to explain what CodeEditor is and link to more information about it, but... it's probably more trouble than it's worth to implement this.
And I came across https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/53300 today (CodeEditor and UniversalLanguageSelector don't seem to play very nicely together). It'd be cool to get that bug resolved before Thursday.
