Hello,

Just a quick note from the Account Creation Improvement Project:

Tomorrow we will start testing the pages that newcomers see once they have created their accounts. So far we have six new versions of the landing pages, but we would very much like your input and your help. You can check out the pages we have already (and make changes to them - and of course, create new ones) here:

* Original version - this is the one we have now: http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Account_Creation_Improvement_Project/Test...

* Redesign version - http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Account_Creation_Improvement_Project/Test...

* Version based on Polish version - http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Account_Creation_Improvement_Project/Test...

* 'Options' version - http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Account_Creation_Improvement_Project/Test...

* Video version - http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Account_Creation_Improvement_Project/Test...

* Easy steps version - http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Account_Creation_Improvement_Project/Test...

* Bookshelf version - http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Account_Creation_Improvement_Project/Test...

If you don't like them, that's fine! In fact, make your own version. We want as many Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians as possible to create their versions and improve the versions we have.

Tomorrow, February 21st, we will start testing all these pages live on Wikipedia to see which ones make the newcomers more likely to start editing. And every day thousands of newcomers will see some of these versions.

(By the way, if you're not familiar with the Account Creation Improvement Project and what we've done so far, go to http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Account_Creation_Improvement_Project for more background.)

Best wishes,

Lennart Guldbrandsson
