Quick update:

* Yes, we do plan to roll out an English Wikipedia test setup for
Flagged Revs.

* There's not yet a fixed schedule for it, but I'd like to see it up and
running in production before Wikimania. :) [August]

* Right now we're running round tidying up general things, getting the
1.15 release set up, and prepping to get our live sites updated to
development trunk -- nice things are afoot like a total upgrade to the
preferences backend which Werdna has done, yay!

* As we get back up to speed, we'll want to coordinate w/ Aaron to
confirm that we've got a configuration planned and that it'll look good,
and get that test config on en.labs.wikimedia.org and test.wikipedia for
a while before we roll it to en.wikipedia.

I'd also like to see folks ponder a bit on the final terminology for
things -- we'd also like to roll out the Drafts extension (for saving
your in-progress edit page in the background so you can return to it if
you accidentally close it or your browser crashes), but Flagged Revs
also uses the 'draft' terminology sometimes. We want to make sure we're
not going to be looking too confusing having both of those things in the
system.
