Hi,
It would be great if a few pairs of eyes could take a look at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2013/34 before I send it to translators, to check that I haven't missed anything super-important or misunderstood what the commits are about.
The tech newsletter is aimed at non-expert Wikimedians whose knowledge of English may be limited, so the language may seem vague or naive to developers. If you see factual errors, please correct them (or let me know directly), but please keep the language simple :)
Many thanks for your help.
My first thought when reading "You can now use new styles of galleries and give feedback to User:Bawolff." was "We couldn't give feedback to Bawolff before?"
Also, is it worth mentioning the pending resolution of bug 39653, currently scheduled for next week and in test on test wikis and mediawiki.org now?

Which is about enabling CodeEditor for JS/CSS.
Yes, we should. I was going to highlight that in my deploy highlights email this afternoon.
I'll also being doing a quick once over of the changes included in wmf14 and highlighting the more important/interesting changes.
I wasn't able to get to the Roadmap update last week (you can see the raw diff here, I just didn't have time to turn it into paragraphs: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Roadmap&diff=765438&oldi... ), but would that be something people want in the TechNews as well?

Note there's two issues with file redirects. The one fixed also applies to local images in addition to foreign issues. The fixed issue is that redirects on commons didn't start to work until 24 hours after they are created. The issue that still remains is after a file moves, someone has to edit the page (or purge the page) of the page using the redirected name, before the image works again. (I've submitted a patch for that - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/80135/ but its still pending review).
