Oh yes, that's right. Thanks for the clarification, Keegan; I'm sorry
about the confusion.
Thanks, but newbies shouldn't have to do all that - it should sit there as
an option.

The same can be argued for the many other features that can be found in
your preferences.
No reason to see that as a downside,

The two are related. Both measures seek transparency, one to the WMF and
one to the community. The fact that the community side has worked is
interesting when there is pushback to private transparency.
This is an interesting point, thanks for making it. I

From Charles original questions I guess that he would be satisified with
something like:

tendency of making errors.

Before Visual Editor was invented, we complained about people starting
editing right away and making mistakes. I'm not sure this is a
completely tool-linked issue ;-)

This is very true; there is a gap between what (most) beginners like
to do and what would be wise to do. Some education colleagues told me
that their beginners never wanted to edit elsewhere than on the real

Dear members of the Wikimedia community,
I write to remind Wikimedia-affiliated entities interested in
submitting an annual plan grant proposal to the Funds Dissemination
Committee (FDC) in Round 2 2013-2014 that they must first submit a
Letter of Intent (LOI). The Letter of Intent is the first
Thanks for the update!
Just to be clear - after ducking the FDC process for 2013/2014, this will
be the round where the WMF will apply for funding of what it considers
'non-core' programs, correct? (There was some confusion over that in the
round earlier this year, so trying to make sure I'm
Hi Lodewijk,
Thanks for asking. The FDC and WMF are currently in conversation about
exactly what this looks like - so stay tuned for the details :-) - but yes,
in principle, WMF will be submitting its proposal to the FDC in Round 2 of
the process (for the annual plan 2014-15).

On Tue,
Chris, as Ziko put it. Would you like a novice driver with a Learner's
permit to drive on a Crowded street or a High speed expressway or in a
deserted ground?
Visual Editor for newbies has caused a lot of pages to 'break' as I have
noticed.

You're correct Srikanth; I'd like to think that VisualEditor will be the
entry editing interface of the future, but it's still not stable enough
and is missing too many features to be ideal for new editors. It is,
however, getting better every time I use it, so it is inching closer
incrementally.
