Hello Peter,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
1) Czech Wikiversity, which started to look for technical improvements (gadgets, tools etc) the Czech Wikipedia has, but they don't.
2) Yes. I think testing VisualEditor in smaller wikis when it's available at any Wikipedia (by far the biggest project we run) doesn't make sense. Obviously, I might be missing something important.
Let me know if you need any more information from me.
Martin

hi Martin – I work as the product manager for the team at the Foundation [i] that is responsible for building and maintaining the visual editor.
You can expect answers to the two questions you posed before Wednesday is over (PST)...I'm wanting to share the most up-to-date and exhaustive answers which require getting input from others people here.
In the meantime, two questions for you:
- Are there particular wikis you had in mind when you asked this
question? 2. By "Beta" are you referring specifically to projects where the visual editor exists as a feature within Beta Features [ii]? Were you referring to projects where the visual editor is not as widely available as you think it could/should be? Something else?

Hello,
It's been years since VisualEditor is available, but it's still in Beta
at
many wikis. Why is that? If a wiki wants VE to grow out of beta, can that happen?
