TL;DR: Today we are launching an alpha, opt-in version of the VisualEditor[0] to the English Wikipedia. This will let editors create and modify real articles visually, using a new system where the articles they edit will look the same as when you read them, and their changes show up as they type enter them — like writing a document in a word processor. Please let us know what you think[1].
Congrats, team! :-D Being able to edit the Real Thing is indeed a huge deal -- even if it's still the very very very (very) first release to do so. A long road ahead, but maybe some sleep is in order. ;-)
The future just got a little more real.
