Hi all,
As you might have noticed, especially if you're an English Wikipedian, the Editor Engagement Experiments team has been working on redesigning the user experience of account creation, A/B testing new designs and functionality for the past couple months.
We finished our final A/B test last week,[1] and we're now moving on to make the features which tested well permanent.[2] In order to make sure that the experience of signup and login are consistent, we also plan to make some changes to the design of login.[3]
In order to answer any questions people might have and gather feedback, we're holding the first office hours about our redesign work. We also plan to enable the test version of the new account creation experience at 100% (rather than 50/50, as previously) so that people can give it a try.
When: Saturday December 1, 2012. 19:00-20:00 UTC. Time conversion links etc. are on Meta.[4] Where: #wikimedia-office
I know the office hours are probably exactly for this kind of question, but I have to ask just for the sake of general interest - are these changes going to be pushed to core, or will they remain in extensions, for instance simply as a permanent feature of enwp only?

During testing they've been mostly in Extension:E3Experiments. For productization (stupid word, I know), we will be making core changes.
I need to update the mediawiki dot org docs to reflect the details, but obviously some things will change dramatically from the test version, in order to be fit for deployment in core.
