Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Interactive Prototype/Timescales

The current notice on the English Wikipedia Community Portal says:
 * If the current system of talk pages seems confusing, a replacement is on the way! Flow, a much more intuitive way of communication resembling those on other websites, will be enabled soon, hopefully in June.

Yet according to a post here just last week, "there are no developers (yet); we're in the design phase.... there's nothing to implement".

I think it's a tad over-optimistic for something like this to go from design phase to implementation this month; please can we have some clarity on what the plan actually is? (And perhaps update that Community Portal notice accordingly).

If Flow isn't coming soon we need to try to get people using things like instead so that we can make full use of Notifications.
