[WikiEN-l] Usability testing ("Try Beta")

I think "Vector" is the skin, and Acai is the usability initiative. A
remember reading a blog post where Vector was described as the first element
in Acai. Vector itself has been available as a skin for awhile. It's a neat
skin, I like it, but I find that I rely (as an editor) on the many gadgets
and .js tools attached to my Monobook/Modern skins.
For readers and new editors, though, it should work well. I particularly
like the left-hand navbar links to featured content.
