We saw that things went well with the first rollout to several
Wikipedias, so we're planning on giving this capability to ALL
Wikipedias starting on March 13th. This is an initial notification of
that date; volunteer Jan Kučera (User:Kozuch) will be communicating more
with you, developing a FAQ, and so on.
We need your help to gather together or point to lists or categories of
templates on your wikis that need converting, so that on the 13th,
volunteers can get started right away! Jan is happy to work with you
about that.
best,
Sumana Harihareswara

Hi everyone,
We're planning to deploy Lua to a long list of wikis on Monday,
February 18, 23:00-01:00 UTC (stretching into Tuesday UTC), including
English Wikipedia.
Details here:

Jan Kučera (User:Kozuch) has placed notifications on many of the
wikis. Those notifications and general communications listed here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kozuch/Lua
This is a really exciting deployment for the projects. We're really
looking forward to seeing the great things that people do with this,
and looking forward to making editing and previewing more responsive
for template-heavy pages.
Rob
