Are these
releases in any way connected to MediaWiki releases though?
I understand that all that gets release on Wikimedia
projects, but it'll be
great to have the rest of MW user base benefit from these as
well (I have
personal interest here as you can imagine ;)).
AFAIK the releases are not connected to MediaWiki releases, but instead are
phases of the usability initiative.
That is correct. However, all of the features we code are in the
UsabilityInitiative extension, which is available from SVN just like
any other extension, so other MW users will benefit (and, in fact,
they can already do so). It's not compatible with MW 1.15, however.
The Vector skin is in MW core, and will be part of the 1.16 release.
