Forum:VisualEditor

When is this going to be added to the wiki? When we're starting out, we don't need to be intimidating target uses who are historians and probably not technically inclined. DondreKhan (talk) 17:21, 30 May 2014 (EDT)
 * While I don't disagree it would be a good idea, it is something of a pain to set up and is still in beta even on Wikipedia, so I'm not sure it would be wise. Arcane (talk) 18:30, 30 May 2014 (EDT)
 * As soon as they get it into a stable version and it's acceptable for all wikis, I'm going to go ahead with it. It's important for exactly why it says so on the project page: people don't want to be forced to learn a language just to add content.  I think it's unlikely to be abandon because of that, but Liquid Threads was, and it's not wise to have a half baked extension with no future support.  I even started to get on the LQT bandwagon.  It would have been good were it not for the problems that it had across various wikis.  Lieutenant S. Reznov (talk) 19:49, 30 May 2014 (EDT)

The warning about the new nature of VisualEditor has been removed from the extension page at MW.org and the status has changed from experimental to beta. There is also a repository available for the Parsoid dependency. I'm going to look into the stability of it, and if everything is good, then I'll install it.
