Hello Sarah,

I would put it somehow differently. If Virgin Ventures has a tool with 
which a newbie (or also an oldbie) can in a very intuitive way construct 
a well formatted article from the scrap, so something like that magic 
editor we had talked about for long time and never realized until now, 
and it is open source, I would certainly consider a button in the 
toolbox like "Use the wizard to start an article".

Greetings
Ting
