2013-12-monthly
In December, we deployed Flow to a few selected pages in production (Talk:Flow and Talk:Sandbox on mediawiki.org) and collected feedback about the features and design to date from the community. The results of the feedback period are summarized at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Flow/Research#Experienced_Users. Throughout the feedback period, we worked on implementing design changes – such as a more compact view of the board and different affordances for topic and post actions, as well as different visualizations of history information – based on the comments of users testing the software.

We also began a straw poll about launching Flow as a beta trial in the discussion spaces of WikiProject Breakfast, WikiProject Hampshire, and WikiProject Video Games on English Wikipedia. Based on the outcome of these polls, we hope to deploy Flow to those pages in January.
