** About to resume work on native implementation of <gallery> extension --
Arlo has an initial patch in gerrit which needs a round of updates. Should
unblock multimedia & VE work on gallery support once this is done.
** At Wikimania hackathon, Scott worked on an update to support a more
detailed Templatedata format field for serializing transclusions -- this is
not finalized yet and the spec needs to stabilize before this can land.
* Core parser:
** Tim working on a side-by-side preview tool to let editors see how a page
would look with Tidy and with HTML5depurate -
