Commons shows the way forward

#Wikimedia Commons is the first project that will have the vector skin and several more of the Usability Initiatives improvements. According to the plan, the new functionality will go live at the same time as this blogpost.

Commons is the first project and, it will be followed by all projects. There are several things that you can do to help yourself.
  • experience vector yourself
  • report any and all issues
  • make sure that all the usability tools are localised in your language
The best time to learn about all this is now. The best time to localise is now, localise now and the localisation will be there tomorrow.
Thanks,

English Wikinews has been using Vector as its default for some months now, along with the enhanced editing toolbar.

Not to mention serbian wikinews, and the strategy wiki.

The point of the post is that OTHER people get ready for their language and their community.

Particularly for the English Wikipedia there is no language issue.
Thanks,
