Hi,
Most ideas behind "Onboarding new Wikipedians" [1] are perfectly
applicable to
mediawiki.org and our problem onboarding new potential
contributors.
Do you think the new Account creation UX, GettingStarted and GuidedTours
could help us here? If so, let's talk.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:New_contributors is the evolution
of the "Wikitech contributors" proposal discussed in the past days. A
big change in the proposal is the aim to become a dedicated early
adopter of EE's new features instead of trying to find temporary
shortcuts for the roadmapped/missing features. Feedback and volunters
welcome!
For instance, we could start with the new ACUX.
