InputBox
Sorry for my stupidity for marking that bug as unresolved. I just couldn't see any evidence that it was fixed. I am new to this stuff, so could you tell me when MediaWiki and Wikipedia are likely to be updated with the latest versions of this extension? Thanks, Msgj 19:05, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * No worries. I created Extension:SearchBox so in hopes that people will start using it instead of InputBox - as it's much more consistent with the more modern way of doing things, and is much less messy. Trevor Parscal 18:30, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you tell me who I can contact to ask when Wikipedia will be updated with your bug fix? Because it's causing problems. Thanks. Msgj 18:51, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If you need attention to your project's needs, you may have some success on our IRC channel (#mediawiki on irc.freenode.net) where many of our developers both staff and volunteers are present. Trevor Parscal

Any example wikis where this is being used? Just want to check it out in a real situation. Thanks. -- Dr DBW |  talk  05:15, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * We designed it for and have now deployed it on usability.wikimedia.org where we are gathering information about existing extensions which provide usability improvements to MediaWiki. Take a look at the extension nomination page where the community has been helping to create a list of such extensions which will then be analyzed and reported on in hopes of capturing the successes and failures therein.

Minor Vector Skin Niggle
Hi Trevor, Good work with the Vector skin, I've changed to using it on en.wp (now its properly live!). I've just got one little niggle with it.

When on discussion pages, I think that having the "+" to add a new section on the arrow drop down menu isn't the most intuitive, and is quite out of the way...

Not sure what others think, but I think it'd be better having it next to edit or something (as a plus).

What do you think?

Cheers

 * We've moved the Add Topic tab to the top level tabs (if there's enough room on your screen). Trevor Parscal 07:09, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

I need help!
[[Category: == Hi, Mr.Trevor Parscal, i am someone who signed up the "do you have an hour to help" activity which will have an interview on the 14th and the 15th in San Francisco. I still didn't receive any notice or respond from you guys(or whoever is taking care of this). I really want to get involved into this activity, so please let me know ASAP when is my interview date. Thanks so much for helping me :) The way to contact me is via email:tankaiming560@yahoo.com.cn ==

Thank you so much for your interest and offer! The Usability Team was so pleased there was such interest. Due to the large number of responses, we cannot bring everyone interested in to participate. If there are opportunities for you to be involved in future interviews and studies, we will certainly reach out to you. Thanks again --Parul Vora on behalf of the Usability Team

Contribution Tracking
Hi Trevor. My father visited this page and has some problems with it (it was linked in a mailing list post). From Special:Version's entry "Contribution Tracking" I guess this special page is provided by the extension Contribution Tracking and you're the right person to talk to. For a normal user, the page is pretty hard to understand, mainly because of two reason: Both points should be super easy to fix by adding a short description text. --Avatar 10:11, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no legend. You can't see at a glance what red, green, blue is meant to visualize.
 * There's no hint that the graphic uses a on-mouse-over technique.
