Description

(Not a hard release blocker, but I just want to make sure we don't miss it).

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor#Setting_up_VisualEditor should be rewritten to focus on the PHP version of Parsoid. Things to note:

What you need to do for install if you're using the tarball (wfLoadExtension)
What you need to do for install if you're using git (wfLoadExtension)
It uses loopback
How to adjust the loopback/VRS settings if you really want/need to
Recommendation to use 7.3 because of the gc issue

Probably we should archive the nodejs instructions to a subpage or just the history.

ssastry moved this task from Needs Triage to Backlog on the Parsoid board.

I think @cscott has done all of this.

I took a second pass, making sure I hit all the points on @Legoktm's list above. But yeah, I think I've got them all now.
