Someone asked me about LiquidThreads and I pointed

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/LiquidThreads_3.0 only to realize that the
current timeline on that page reads "August 2011".
Is there an updated status for LiquidThreads? I vaguely recall some e-mail
saying it wasn't going to be a priority in 2012, but I don't really
remember. If someone knows and could update this list or that page, that'd
be awesome.
I know we *want* to prioritize it, with a basic plan that looks roughly
like:
* design a global notification system for it to hook into [1]
* strip a lot of stuff down
* build it back up but more awesome
[1] I've got some draft notes on low-level notification frameworks up at <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Notification_framework&…
and Brandon's currently working on some UX designs. We had a nice chat with
Wikia folks recently about their 'message wall' system which internally is
similar to many parts of LQT, but has a nicer notification experience, and
hope to steal some ideas from there (though we probably can't take
implementation easily as a lot of their code is mixed up with other
extensions).
As for dates and how many / which devs will be assigned to it I can't say,
but it all ties in with just about every other "new editor retention"
project. (For instance MoodBar's comments need a better way to get replies
and notify the original poster about it.)
