We're still a few months from a release of 1.21, but I'd like to start thinking about what we can tell the users of MediaWiki about it.
In that vein, what changes or features have you been working on? I'll spend some time looking over the commit messages, but often those don't give the sort of "big picture" that end users of MW could benefit from.
I'm on the Editor Engagement Experiments team, which mostly works on extensions. However, I am proposing and working on changes for core where it makes sense. One particular core change I have pending is extending mediawiki.jqueryMsg to support wikilinks and the int: magic word.

There are also a few other smaller ones, and bugs that are just in the idea stage.
