I proposed requring editors that aren't logged in to enter text into the comment field, when editing the article namespace. This would be done with the intention of extending it to all non-minor edits to the article namespace if the experiment succeeded.
In fact, of the 3 non-implemented experiments above, I think this one would be the least controversial.
I'd sign up to something that /made/ me leave an edit summary all the time... perhaps a configurable option for logged-in users as a corrollary?

Logged-in users can always set "mark edits minor by default".
It's more controversial for logged-in users though, even if minor edits don't count, which is why my proposal is to test it out on those without accounts first. Personally I think it's worth it. I agree with the others who say that Wikipedia should focus on quality rather than quantity (though I see this somewhat differently than some of them).
