If I recall correctly, there is a test version of the german wikipedia
on the new software. However, I don't recall any comments about the
bug list since it was translated a while back. Most of the problems I
saw on the bug list were fairly simple fixes (mis-spellings or
mis-translations). Of note, however, is the different date format.
Of course, there are other issues that may be larger than I am
realizing...

Can we set a specific date for the move? How about
this upcoming Saturday?
Or Sunday?

Hello dear people who have the right to access
the server!
Some people (including me) are really getting annoyed about the delay of
the software change of the German wikipedia. Almost every day I (or
someone else) has to explain, that this and that feature is coming soon
with the new software - since several months. I know that nobody gets
paid for this work, and I appreciate every line of code written, etc.
But please don't make people believe that the software change is coming
soon, if in reality it will take about half a year.
Some things are put on hold in the German Wikipedia - like a press
release - until the software change. But it's getting quite frustraing
now.
I don't want to accuse anyone, but just say: Don't promise things you
can't keep. If your focus is on the Englisch Wikipedia that's okay with
me, but just tell us so that we can deal with it.
Kurt
