VisualEditor/2012-13 Q2 forward-look

This is the forward-looking plan for the VisualEditor team (including Parsoid) for the 2012-13 Q2 cycle (i.e., from the start of October through to the end of December 2012).

Priorities for this quarter

 * Getting the APIs finished (so other people can more easily get involved)
 * Improve stability of the core platform on our target browsers (so it works when we…)
 * Deploy in some form to production in a way that lets test users edit real content

Browser matrix

 * This is not final, but work-in-progress for the VE team; data current as of end-September 2012.

Removed from plan

 * Parsoid
 * C++ implementation for December
 * We have decided to focus on the Node/JS prototype of the Parsoid for the December release as we do not expect to have the C++ version ready by then.


 * Node-handlers
 * Additional node-handlers for December
 * Due to the unexpected difficulties encountered, we do not expect to ship additional node handlers (for other content types) before December.
