Hi all, It's been 10 days since the last note on flagged revisions, which is sufficiently important to warrant a follow up at this point in my view. I'll try and focus the questions a bit in order not to pester, but with the intention of helping things forward; see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18244 for bug details. * Flagged Revisions is approved for use on the English Wikipedia, my understanding is that there really isn't that much technical work still to do on the extension - is this true? * Is there anything a regular editor such as myself can do to help prioritise this in the hearts, minds and fingers of our wonderful developers? * Personally, I believe this function to be one of the most important matters before the foundation currently, I further believe that this view is relatively widely held (and sure, widely reviled too - but this is a wiki, right!) - I've copied foundation-l in on this note with the intention of further general discussion occurring there, and bug-specific chat only on the wiki-tech list, I hope this is an appropriate use of resources :-) I've offered appreciation, a dollop of charm, and a little bit of money to try and keep this moving forward.... I'm not sure I'm above offering sex, so please throw me a bone for the sake of the decorum of these lists, if nothing else :-) best, Peter, PM.
