Hi All!
Thanks for all of the feedback, comments, and support. I just wanted to let you know that our full report (including highlight videos!!) is now up our the Usability Initiative's project wiki:
Fascinating. Is there a process in place to fix all this, I wonder.
One obvious thing: why is "preview on first edit" not on by default for all users? No wonder they're confused out of their brains.
Also sounds like we need a "IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME EDITING?" message that gives them a very quick intro.
Also, we badly need separate references out. They kill normal editing, and "dumbfound" people who actually want to add refs.
