Hey Everyone,
I wanted to let everyone know that earlier today, we launched the Feedback Dashboard:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:FeedbackDashboard
This dashboard is a running list of comments that new editors submitted via Moodbar (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MoodBar). The idea behind this feature is to capture, in a lightweight fashion, the editing experience of folks that are just starting out. After either attempting or submitting an edit, new editors get an invitation in the upper left hand corner inviting them to provide feedback on their editing experience. The Feedback Dashboard provides a feed of these comments.
This feature is still experimental, so please excuse any wonkiness and let us know of any bugs you find.
Take a look to find out what makes new editors Happy, Sad, or Confused! Also, if you'd like to either comment on the feature or participate in its further development, please leave a message here [1] or here [2].
Howie
