Event Timeline

Niharika triaged this task as Medium priority.

Hello! I'm sure something has happened that prevented the rollout everywhere on Aug., 25 as planned. Could I ask for a status update? Thanks!

@MarcoAurelio Thanks for the question. During some final QA and user testing in the second phase outline above there were some bugs and suggestions that seemed important to address before we get this in front of more users. Given the sensitivity of the feature and the data within the tool, we want to to be cautious with any potential issues. Combining that with a few weeks that didn't have train releases and the project is delayed as you've noticed.

We should be able to have something out very soon.

Thanks for the reply @aezell - Sounds sensible to me to delay if the feature was not yet ready. Thanks all for your work.

@MarcoAurelio My bad - I didn't update the timeline. We decided to release the feature to some more selective wikis before we do a wider launch because we haven't received as much feedback as we liked.
