General product thoughts

 * Divergence between desktop and mobile: how to think about? Burden of proof on diverging, or converging?
 * Standard meanings for “dismiss”, “cancel”, “discard” throughout the interface

Unsatisfied VisualEditor uses cases

 * I want to cite a book several times in one article, but specify different page numbers each time.
 * : Page number attribute for tags
 * I want to take an existing free-form reference which is used multiple times in an article, and replace it with a particular citation template.
 * I want to use the find and replace gadget to find instances of a particular reference by searching, for example, for "[2]"
 * Works using Firefox's own search tool
 * Reuse a reference from author X which I added during this editing session, when another reference by author X already existed.

Airy Wikimedia thoughts

 * What underlying interests (for example, education, scholarship, journalism, open culture, and global development) can sustain involvement in Wikimedia, given the right trigger? How can we appeal to people with each one of those interests? What hard numbers (for example, there are X professional librarians in OECD countries, Y university students in Japan, Z open-source fanatics in sub-Saharan Africa, and so on) can we find on those populations (and are those hard numbers useful)?
