It's interesting how an essentially social

.nl has yet to experience the software in question, and the social
issues surrounding it ...
VisualEditor has been enabled as an alpha on nlwiki for testing since May,
same as another 15 wikis, actually. But yes, there's a substantive
difference between the usage of the software in a small number of
knowingly-testing edits by experienced users (who normally want to do
relatively-edge cases) and actual real-world usage in exploring the social,
design and technical issues.
