That's precisely the kind of things you want to find out from a usability study. That's why I reported it, not only to show the world how dumb I am :) My eyes moved from "Awesome, you are editing Wikipedia!" to "Can you briefly describe the changes you're making?" completely missing it on the first scan. Worse, I also wondered for a few seconds where was the edit box.
Haha, yep, that's obviously what's going to happen to current editors with any new interface as radical as this ;)
Perhaps an image at the top, showing a sentence with a mouse cursor hovering above it, accompanied with "click on a sentence to edit it" would help?
