Following up on this thread:
1. I'm continuing to find that VE's table editor is a significant
improvement over the Wikitext editor for typical tasks. I'm looking forward
to the day when I can copy and paste formatted spreadsheet data from places
like Google Sheets, ODS, and Excel into VE and have them convert fully into
Wikimarkup.
2. I have a recently-approved IEG [1] to create a series of modular video
tutorials about Wikipedia editing, including the use of VisualEditor. The
preparation for this project has been happening for quite awhile. The goal
is to have a series of video modules be published in 2016, and to have the
videos produced in such a way that multilingual translation is possible. A
number of Wikipedians have volunteered to assist with translation efforts;
the languages with translation volunteers are currently Spanish, German,
Greek, Czech, Arabic, and Armenian. Anyone who wants to volunteer for
translation assistance is welcome!
