This month, we worked on first designs for Messaging on MediaWiki. We aim to develop a first experimental version of this product on MediaWiki in 2013 (after we have deployed our first release for Notifications) -- and plan to release a full version on the English Wikipedia and other projects in 2013. Code-named 'Flow', this new infrastructure tool will be developed by Wikimedia's editor engagement team, including Fabrice Florin, Vibha Bamba, Ryan Kaldari, Benny Situ, Brandon Harris, Oliver Keyes, Howie Fung and Terry Chay.
