Mozilla has a new Wiki Working Group[0] "to develop and drive a roadmap of improvements to http://wiki.mozilla.org". They're currently on MediaWiki 1.19, and I predict they will want to get onto 1.23 once that is released (since it's going to be the long-term support release[1][2]), and that they're going to want VisualEditor and Flow as soon as possible. However, they have a custom theme to port over.
Instant thread derail! So ... how is 1.23 and Visual Editor?
* Has anyone sat down and written out how to add VE magic to a 1.23 tarball install? * VE is big and complicated. I'm not clear on what it needs. Parsoid as a daemon or something? * Are our esteemed packagers at Debian and Fedora in the loop?
I ask out of interest for my intranet stuff, where I would *love* a VE to wave at users who basically can't work computers and are presently just doing stuff as Google Docs.
