Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Community consent?/reply

Hi, here are a few replies:

Yes, we (the editors and the WMF) have long wanted newcomers to be less-confused or put-off by:
 * Colon-Indenting in discussion threads
 * Manually added signatures
 * The problem of where to reply, when someone leaves a message on their usertalkpage
 * Having to watchlist all userpages/articles/etc when they leave a comment at the associated talkpage.
 * the difficulty in determining whether a comment has ever been edited by someone other than the original author
 * etc

The En.wiki w:Wikipedia:Flow portal has a few more details than the one here, which you might find useful. Also, all the subpages in the Flow Navigation navbox, contain a lot more details (many of which are old, or on a pure "brainstorming" level, but are still useful reading).

Regarding the comparison to the VE rollout - Jorm has recently clarified [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3AFlow&diff=565561929&oldid=565552556 here] that the Flow rollout will be a lot slower.

Hope that helps.
