Excellent! WYSIWYG-WABIT is a nice one.
Well done, it really made my day.
Thanks robleyd for letting us know.

There is at present no "nightly" version of this. The commit was 29 March, and last nightly is 22 March.

It must have been a bug of the daylight saving time change.
Maybe all the code has vanished during that event.

[RoryOF]

The nightly server seems intermittent - for some reason it can stall, and eventually, when pushed, someone kick-starts it again.

Forget it. It's all nonsense. Don't you get it: TODAY IS APRIL FOOL'S DAY!

Ha, ha, ha! They got ya!

This is the anniversary of the greatest April Fool's day joke: the 1957 BBC News program that reported on the early spring bringing the south Swiss spaghetti crop ripe: worth seeing the video if you have never seen it. And the UK population swallowed the story

Thank you, that was great!

Perhaps the text-only system will include Tools → Language → Translate.
