Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions

Hi Flow team,

After your Wikimania presentation I hope to talk with you directly. If I can't, I put my request here.

First, thanks a lot for this amazing project. As a newbies-wikifriend, I can't wait for the day when Flow will be widely deployed!

My request is about the Forum des nouveaux on french Wikipedia, which is a place quite like the Teahouse on enwp. This place is a very busy place, and we currently experienced a lot of problems which may be solved by Flow (structured messages, no mess about how and where answer, etc.).

So is it possible to have a deployment on the forum des nouveaux, in order to help us on our new user support, and help you for the development of this tool?

By the way, the francophone communauty will appreciate this little privilege : the full-focus on English Wikipedia is not always appreciated! :-)

Thanks a lot!

Hi, I'm Charles from Switzerland, and I can only confirm what Trizek says! We develop a lot newbies workshop and we would really like to be able to improve our communication strength with the newcomers.

That would be fantastic! I just looked at Forum des nouveaux, and saw all of the special instructions that you're showing people when they post a message. It looks like Flow could be very helpful there. :)

We're planning to release the full new version of subscriptions and notifications at the end of next week -- I'd like to show that to you, and the other people on that forum. Are there more people who are part of the newcomers group?

DannyH (WMF), thank you for this positive answer!

Most of people involved on the newcomers french project (~30 people) can be reached on the Projet:Aide et Accueil. Do not hesitate to post in English there, Charles or I will translate.

Okay, great! We'll start posting there when the next release is live on Mediawiki.org, so we can show everyone the full new feature set. The plan is for that to be out next Thursday. Does that sound good?

Thanks, DannyH (WMF)! Sounds perfect!  :-)

Innovative Frenchmen!
