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.

Subject: Progress on the Flagged Revisions front
To: wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
This proposal;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Flagged_protection_and_patrolled_rev…
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_patrolle…
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.
