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:
1. 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?
Thanks,
Martin
