Hello Ambassadors!
I wanted to highlight a couple things for you real quickly. Tuesday June 18th will be a busy day, feature-wise.
Both ULS (Universal Language Selector) and VisualEditor will be enabling user-facing features.
1) ULS will be enabled on the wikis listed below. For their full plan, see: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/UniversalLanguageSelector/Deployment/Planning
2) VisualEditor will be turning on an A/B test (only on English Wikipedia) where half of all new accounts will get VE enabled by default. This is to test stability, performance, and the feature set before the larger roll-out currently planned for July.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Greg
