What I want to know is this: If a new editor uses VE rather than the source editor, does she or he have a better chance to stick around as an editor.

If the method at [1] is correct, it hints that the usage of VE by new editors indeed improves their chance to stick around, but I'd love to hear the data scientists' opinion about this.

I noticed that the text of the proposal does not provide adequate
explanation of "editor acquisition". While the phrase itself can
simply mean 'how many new editors in total have been added to the
community of editors and are continuing to use VE', a suitable scoping
would nice to have.
