I did a preliminary measure, and it actually showed a decline, starting the exact week it was implemented on nlwiki :( However, this preliminary measure was unscientific, not precise and would need better testing/measuring.

The Vector skin, the main product of the Usability Initiative, was deployed on Wikimedia projects in April 2010.
Quoting usability.wikimedia.org: "The goal of this initiative is to measurably increase the usability of Wikipedia for new contributors by improving the underlying software on the basis of user behavioral studies, thereby reducing barriers to public participation."
In the year that passed since then, did anyone measure whether the usability of Wikipedia for new contributors increased?
