I quite agree that it's important to actively seek
out and work with
template creators and curators to get involved in testing out Lua. But it
is also critical to involve those who will be *using* the templates to see
if what has been designed will address any or all of their concerns and
issues. Making the wiki run faster is, I believe, only one objective in
improving the "template experience". If the product that comes out of Lua
is as difficult to use as the current templates, then we have only
completed half the job. (I use "we" as the big-tent community that includes
developers and editors.)
As far as I know, this doesn't really change the template experience
from a normal editor's point of view.
