​I wonder if it's worth to keep there VE news, because most of editors who
read Tech news in ukwiki​ afaik use wikitext editing =)
This doesn't seem to be crucial.

> All this should be integrated in MediaWiki within a "Special:Inbox"
> listing all "Echo" notifications and probably later should work as if it
> was a email box with folders (and a way to sort notifs in these folders
> using some custom filters, or manuallly like by moving one or more notifs
> manually into another folder). And this page should also be used for
> messages in our talk page using one of the proposed extensions
> (LiquidThread or other). This would become our local on-wiki mailbox (and
> ideally we should be able to redirect messages from one wiki to the managed
> mailbox of another, using some predefined filters; or send a single
> notification from one wiki to another stating that it there are
> notifications on another wiki,to inform us that there are someting there :
> this would save our regular mailbox and would reduce a lot the volume of
> emails sent by Wikimedia).
>
> And may be in the future, Wikiemdia will work like a social network with
> groups, applications, a customized wall, integrating also our own activity
> on Wikimedia... Users could subscribe some threads of notifications for
> various projects (and it would be fun of notifications were using a RSS
> format (after all notifications are not editable pages, they are threads
> coming from various sources and all we need is to subbscribe/unscribe
> them). We could monitor this way changes from lots of places (not just in
> Wikis, but also in Bugzilla, blogs, and MassMessage...).
