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.
Excellent; will do.
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."
Understood; will drop the Parsoid updates. :-)
Hope it helps.
Very much so; thank you.
