translatewiki:Thread:Support/The_time_phrase_in_Mediawiki_gadget_Echo
There's quite a lot of confusion about some time strings in Echo, I couldn't figure it out last time I checked it. Needs someone knowing the extension. Thanks, Nemo 00:16, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've added a link to it at w:Wikipedia_talk:Notifications and will poke the devs on Monday morning.
 * Note: I'm not officially working on Echo itself. I'm only busy at the related talkpages and bugs out of personal interest. :) –Quiddity (talk) 01:17, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Right, I misremembered with which account you had asked that Echo question. Thanks! --Nemo 01:27, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The devs say "Echo is utilizing mediawiki core getHumanTimestamp for timestamps", so that bug is almost certainly at the mediawiki core level. Hope that helps. Ping me here or IRC if it doesn't. :) –Quiddity (talk) 01:55, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
 * One bug is already filed in core, but it's not clear where the translations are (not) coming from. --Nemo 09:57, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Contact point for community questions and feedback?
I'm from the editing community. I've looked at the current state of Flow and read all I could find. I have been looking around and I've been having trouble finding the best place to ask questions and provide feedback regarding Flow. Some of my feedback involves editor use cases, in particular I need to be able to include Wikitext. I see the Flow roadmap has zero support for wikitext until Q3. This means that the Flow-based pages are completely nonviable for discussing Flow. Could you link me to the best place for questions and feedback? Thanx. Alsee (talk) 07:02, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Alsee, I'm from the editing community, too! (Editor since 2005.) I was only hired 1 year ago, as a community liaison. Hence the strange username.
 * Flow currently supports almost all wikitext (minus a few problems this week with math syntax, and ongoing work with categories). (Were you looking at the Flow, or somewhere else? There's a lot of outdated documentation, that I need to tag as historical soon... Please let me know where you found the outdated (or confusing?) information about wikitext-support. Thanks.)
 * You can see the existing user-tests, and join in with any testing of your own, at Talk:Sandbox.
 * The best place to provide feedback, is Talk:Flow. (There are regular discussions in various other places, too, which is frustrating but currently unavoidable. From Enwiki to mailing lists to Meta to IRC.)
 * Hope that helps. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 23:43, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
