[Wikimedia-l] IRC office hours about upcoming account creation and login redesigns

[Steven Walling]

Hey all,

As you might know, the Editor Engagement Experiments team spent several weeks in
2012-13 testing changes to the account creation page, aiming to make
it easier for new editors to join our projects.[1]

Soon you'll see wider announcements on-wiki and on the blog about the
"soft launch" of the interface changes we've built now that testing is
over. The short version: for roughly a week, we're initially launching
the changes in MediaWiki core on an opt-in basis, so that editors can
test the localizations and hunt for bugs on their home wiki without
potentially disrupting the essential functions of login and account
creation.

This Saturday the 27th at 18:00 UTC,[2] we'll be hosting IRC office
hours to talk about these changes with anyone interested. Please join
us. :-)
