This should be doable after some polishing based on feedback from @Qgil, @MSyed, etc.

I removed T103049 as blocker. I agree that Flow in discussion pages is a must, but if you want Flow by the announcement of the prototype, it needs to be enabled IN the prototype. :)

Before doing that, we need to make sure that we will be able to migrate those discussion pages (just like we will need to migrate the content pages themselves).

@Qgil, P840 is draft announcement for wikitech-l and engineering lists.

Ok, this is a very good start. Just a few comments:

• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/dev.wikimedia.org should be presented as the main project page, and its discussion page as the main channel for general feedback. Commenting on existing tasks and creating new tasks should be presented as the preferred channel for specific feedback. Reply to this thread should be the last option, for lazy brats.

• "Around the 2014 Zurich Hackathon" should say "Since December 2013". I would say "Moiz Syed and others" since he has been the only clear driver still around, also not to get into too much details of by Juliusz and not Stephen, etc.

• You might want to mention explicitly that the master versions of the pages are in mediawiki.org, and that they are imported from time to time to the prototype. I didn't know that and I'm watching this project, so I guess the rest will not know either.

• The FAQ is the best and most hilarious FAQ I have read for a long time. Thank you for this. The only change I would make is remove "Prateek Saxena, Andrew Garrett, and May Galloway" and add "The Design team (now Reading Design)". Again, not to dwell too much into genealogy, which makes this announcement look like targeted to a small audience of insiders instead of our tech community at large and beyond.

Also, why bother so much about the format? This is an announcement to be sent primarily via email, right?

Congratulations! Phew.

We might want to recycle the FAQ in the wiki page, as a way to direct
people asking or mentioning topics covered there.
