Hi Steven, Just wanted to tell you (because I haven't run into you to say it, and because people here may be interested) that last Saturday I helped some new people at the San Francisco editathon register on the enWP, and the new registration process was much easier for them than it was the last time I helped people register, pre-this system. And, the Getting Started stuff is great: the people I helped all immediately went to the typo-fixing queue, and seemed to find it reasonably understandable and easy to use. I know you know this from the testing data: now you know it from anecdata too :-)
