Because I'm an idiot, I tried to send this before subscribing to this particular list. I don't have high hopes of understanding much herein, but hope the below is clear :-)
I gather Jimbo is putting some sort of proposal before the (WMF) board too, and look forward to hearing exactly what that entails - it'll be great to read something out in public somewhere fairly soon - however per the below I hope readers of this list will concur that the best step forward is to enable to extension to facilitate the trial :-)
cheers,
PM.

This proposal; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Flagged_protection_and_patrolled_revi...
would seem to have a strong consensus in support, following a 9 day poll here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Flagged_protection_and_patrolled...
It's a very gentle implementation, but the description is crystal clear, and hopefully this is clear and defined enough for the dev.s to 'switch on'.
If more information or parameters are required, it would be fantastic for decision makers to try and be explicit in how best to clear the path - perhaps the feature can be turned on by the first of next month? ;-)
cheers,
PM.

83% support is plenty for switch-flicking. If you add a bug to bugzilla (http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org), we'll probably get to it next week (after Berlin -- we would like to have some people around when we do it).
I'm pleased to see that English Wikipedia has come up with a compromise acceptable to most people :)
thanks andrew :-)
