Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/Standalone version coming?/reply (5)

From the office hour log:
 * [23:51:18]  A stand-alone client for VisualEditor is effectively built now; we might package it as a clearly distinct thing, but we've split the repos (VisualEditor itself is now in VisualEditor/VisualEditor.git; it's "just" the MediaWiki- and Wikimedia-specific bits that are now in mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor.git), and given it i18n support through jQuery.i18n (removing the last MediaWiki dependency).
 * [23:51:46]  That said, using VE without a CMS back-end like MediaWiki would be hard.
 * [23:52:14]  VE has ~ 400 files that, thanks to ResourceLoader, are minified and crushed down to just one; going without this would be painful.
 * [23:52:50]  We're optimistic about VE being integrated with other systems (like WordPress or Drupal or ...) and would be happy to help anyone who wanted to do that, but we're not working on it right now.
 * [23:53:28]  http://bits.beta.wmflabs.org/static-master/extensions/VisualEditor/lib/ve/demos/ve/#!/src/pages/aliens.html is a stand-alone demo we built for VisualEditor that shows the bare-bones version.
