However, I am worried that posting these here every
two weeks might be
a bit spammy, so I'd love feedback not just on the content (for which
the best venue is the central feedback page[2]) but also as to whether
you would value me doing this every fortnight (or perhaps less
regularly?), or if there are better, or additional fora that might be
suited to getting this information for users on the Wikimedia
projects.
Posting fortnightly updates about the VisualEditor on this list is
probably not too spammy, as long as the goal of this list is
remembered: it's not so much for technologists, as it is for
ambassadors. Telling people on this list about newly deployed features
and inviting them to test them on a demo wiki every two weeks is very
useful.
Updating about the C++ implementation of Parsoid is less useful,
however. It is probably interesting to people on wikitech-l, but it
doesn't have any immediate action item for the ambassadors - there's
not much to pass on to their respective editing communities and there
isn't anything to test. But something like this would be useful: "We
rewrote the parser in C++, and it's supposed to be 40% faster now, so
please come to test its performance and see if it still handles the
features that your project needs correctly."
Hope it helps.
