VisualEditor

[edit]
  • Roan totally needs to talk to Chris about browser tests (yay headless Firefox!)
  • #99: added change to Roan's review backlog because Timo is busy

    • We do now have Rummana (our QA person) testing mobile VE and reporting bugs
  • #100: Trevor has done most of this, needs to get back to mobile about it
  • #97: James wrote a patch but Timo -1ed. Timo's busy with the aftermath of the irc.wikimedia.org downtime, I'll ask him to look at this once he has time
