All,
It'd be wonderful to be able to share these stories publicly in the future.
I'm going to reach out to those who have already shared their experiences
with me to confirm they're comfortable with sharing. If you're not
comfortable with sharing your story, or want to withhold your name, please
let me know in your email. Otherwise, we will consider them public, so we
can build on your experiences and share them widely!
Thank you!
Lila

Sounds like a great way to get insight from our
new editors :)
If video reactions are desired, I think at one point we (WMF) videoed
people that had never edited before, try and edit with the source code
editor, and they described their experience after. Might also be helpful
in
addition to this. I recall viewing it during
Sue's Wikimania keynote in
Hong Kong.

Overall I wish I had this on video. It is a bit like an experience of a
kid
making their first goal. Exhilarating.
So now I have a challenge back to you:
- Please pick a friend who has never edited before.
- Ask them to make an edit. Any edit in any language.
- Please have them write one paragraph about their experience.
- Have them send it to lila at wikimedia with the subject: #1
Thank you!!!
Lila
