Hi, this is a call specific to editors of non-Latin languages.
It refers to a VisualEditor test sprint we are planning to hold next week:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Testing_Non-Latin_Characters_In…
Things are still flowing and might change, but I thought you would be
interested to know already. Your questions and feedback are welcome in
the discussion page.
As soon as the page is ready we would love to have your help promoting
it in non-Latin Wikipedias so we can get more testers from a more
diverse collection of languages. Thank you!

Notes:
* It's "VisualEditor" :)
* I have left plenty of comments in the page. Please remove them as you
provide the details (or resolve that no changes are needed).
* Look at the language examples added at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Testing_Non-Latin_Characters_In…
I just took the most popular & diverse languages. Edit according to
your priorities.
* Since this is mostly a DIY activity, instead of some briefing session
I'm proposing a blog post agreed with guillom and published next Monday.
* Do we have an actual sprint on January 30? Discuss:

The page is kind of decent already now (after removing my comments).
With a bit of work it could be ready by the end of tomorrow.
What I wonder is how we can use CentralNotice to promote the sprint at
the top targeted Wikipedias. The first question is: what are the top
targeted languages?
