If your account on
test.wikipedia.org matches your main one, you can try
it out there and check for conflicting accounts. We'll go into the
opt-in beta for actual logins over the next couple of weeks.
Where is the correct place for feedback?
Here is fine for now. It'll be progressively more opened up as we go
into private, then opt-in beta, and then general availability. During
that progress we'll all be fixing things up and figuring out how to best
'advertise' and document it -- something that's very difficult until
we've had people really trying it out.
The automatic home wiki selector is fairly smart, but
it's not always
right. It would be nice if you were given a drop down with the
automatic selection selected by default. Otherwise I think we may
often end up with "thats not my home wiki! <back> now what?!".
*nod*
As discussed in the Q&A session at Wikimania, the home wiki will be
user-selectable. I hadn't quite gotten that far when polishing up the
live test for public demoing, though.
(Are videos from the Wikimania sessions available online yet? I'm a
little lost on how that was supposed to work.)
