If the VisualEditor does its job, we're going to have a lot more new contributors than we're used to, many interested in contributing productively. Even with a simpler editing interface, it will still take some time for them to adjust to the community and its norms. Luckily most projects have help forums or IRC channels where people can ask questions, and pages that steer users towards these forums and channels. Unluckily, as said, we're not used to having so many new contributors :). Should you find yourself with free time, please do monitor the appropriate venues for your project. The existing helpers will undoubtedly appreciate any assistance you can offer.

Se il VisualEditor funzionerà bene avremo molti più collaboratori di prima, avremo molte persone interessate a collaborre fattivamente. Tuttavia, anche con una interfaccia di editing semplificata, i nuovi collaboratori avranno necessità di un po' di tempo per adeguarsi alle regole che la cominità si è data. Per fortuna molti progetti hanno dei forum di aiuto o dei canali IRC dove le persone possono fare domande e molti rinvii verso questi forum e canali IRC. Per sfortuna, come detto, non siamo abituati ad avere così tanti collaboratori  :-). Se hai un po' di tempo libero, per favore tieni sotto controllo "the appropriate venus" (che roba è?) del tuo progetto. I volontari di Wikipedia apprezzeranno qualsiasi aiuto tu possa dare.

As part of our preparations for the launch we ran a group of users from UserTesting.com through a set of tasks, first using the VisualEditor and then using Wikimarkup. Some of them had tried to edit in the past; many were total newcomers. The script for the tests can be seen below. This is not the only data we are relying on; we are also (and more usefully) gathering quantitative data from a test on the English-language Wikipedia, in which 50 percent of new users were given the VisualEditor by default. We will post those results as soon as we have them. Using the source editor "This automatically looks confusing and overwhelming." "There was tons of foreign jargon amidst the content and it looked nothing like how the real page looked." "I don't want to have to learn a new language just to edit Wikipedia." When presented with the source editor, users tended to have the same set of problems. Many of these centred around identifying what they were expected to change; with so much markup, they found it difficult to identify things in the markup view that matched what they'd seen when reading the rendered page. Users were also worried by the clutter of the editing interface, particularly the mass of buttons at the bottom of the "save page" window. Users struggled to understand the wikimarkup found in a moderately-sized article; when they managed to identify bits, it was almost entirely from comparing their memory of the rendered page to individual words, and looking at the formatting around those words (for example, noting that all of the headers had equals signs, and thus determining that equals signs made headers work). With one exception, every user found the source editor intimidating and would opt not to use it.
