One thing we could experiment with is turning on
VisualEditor as the

carefully with guidance from James/Trevor et. al., and with a close eye on
the conversion rate. At the very least we could run a few remote usability
tests to see if it made a positive difference or just totally confused
people. My team could perhaps tackle this as part of our work on the
"Getting Started" workflow we're presenting to newly-registered folks on
English Wikipedia.
As much as I love VE myself, this seems like an extremely bad idea given its current
state.
