Hello from VisualEditor

Hey there,

I'm Product Manager for Editing at the Wikimedia Foundation[0], and one of
my responsibilities is VisualEditor[1], a contentEditable-based rich editor
aimed at being a good all-round editor for documents with complex
contentEditable=false elements, principally for integration with MediaWiki
for editing Wikipedia and our other sites.

As I imagine many of you are familiar with some of the issues we're run
into I won't try to re-hash them, but it's been a fun ride (though,
happily, browser bugs and specification gaps seem generally to be getting
fewer in number).

Johannes Wilm reached out to suggest we join in and help this task force;
I'll probably ask one of our developers to join as well.
