Subject: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Deploying alpha of VisualEditor to
non-English Wikipedias
To: Coordination of technology deployments across languages/projects
<wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
All,
TL;DR: VisualEditor will be deployed on 14 new Wikipedias next week as an
opt-in alpha. Your assitance is requested to inform your wikis about this
and help get the software translated.
Next week (on 25 April) we are going to deploy the alpha opt-in version of
the VisualEditor to some non-English Wikipedias in the same way that it
has been on the English Wikipedia since December 2012.
This will let users get familiar with the VisualEditor, give us feedback
on what works and what is broken, and help us prioritise further work
ahead of the planned deployment as a 'default' editor for all users which
we intend to do in a few months' time.
Due to a number of issues we have been unable to release VisualEditor to
non-English wikis until now, and we would very much like to get some great
feedback from as many wikis as possible - especially for extended Unicode
and RTL languages, but also other languages. Does the VisualEditor work in
your language? Does it gel with your wiki's workflow?
The initial languages we want to target are the "top 10" Wikipedias by way
of scale - de, nl, fr, it, ru, es, sv, pl, ja - plus selected others to
help us discover issues we anticipate: ar, he, hi, ko, zh. These will let
us test most of the locales we are concerned about. If this goes well, we
hope to deploy the opt-in alpha to all Wikipedias.
Please tell your wiki colleagues that this is coming, especially if your
wiki is in this list! Additionally, you can see how fully-translated the
software is into your language in the stats at TranslateWiki.Net[0] -
please encourage wiki colleagues to help translate the messages ahead of
the deployment!
As a note, we have just updated the VisualEditor integration so that the
"Edit" tab goes to VisualEditor, and there is an "Edit source" tab to go
to the wikitext editor.
This change (which affects the English Wikipedia opt-in deployment and
MediaWiki.org as well as the new deployments mentioned above) moves the
way that VisualEditor integrates with the wiki's workflow to be closer to
how it will appear when it is the 'default' editor. It is still easy to
use the wikitext editor if that is what you want to do - the "Edit source"
tab (at least for now) will be "above the fold" and not in the drop-down
menu on Vector.
Happy to answer any questions you might have!
Yours,
--

Subject: [Wikitech-ambassadors] VisualEditor testing in non-Latin scripts
To: Coordination of technology deployments across languages/projects <
wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi, now it's confirmed and ready for distribution:
Next week we are going to focus on testing VisualEditor in conjunction with
non-Latin scripts: العربية, Ελληνικά, 한국어, हिन्दी, עברית , 日本 語, Русский,
中文 and more.
https://www.mediawiki.org/**wiki/VisualEditor/Testing_Non-**
Latin_Characters_Input_and_**Behavior<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Testing_Non-Latin_Characters_In…>
The testing will be done at the English Wikipedia (primarily in User
pages), where VisualEditor can be enabled. Any editor can contribute,
regardless of testing / technical experience and even knowledge of
languages in those scripts. For instance, copying texts from
http://ru.wikipedia.org/ or http://ja.wikipedia.org/ and playing with them
in your User page is also a good starting point.
Of course we welcome the participation of editors from projects based on
non-Latin scripts. Your help as ambassadors connecting with your
communities is especially needed! A main incentive is that good testing
coverage of VisualEditor in a specific script plus good community
involvement might lead to its inclusion in the related Wikipedia(s) for
broader testing.
If you have any questions or feedback please comment at
Talk:VisualEditor/Testing Non-Latin Characters Input and Behavior or send
me an email. Thank you!
