Sharing on the public mailing list as a nice public
spot to do it:
Thoughts on doing this as a blog post?

I wanted to share my first editing experience and
ask for your help.
Here
it is:
Today I have made the first edit on English Wikipedia. As I said in my
first meeting -- I believe in traveling the path of our editors, so I
can
better understand them and so taht we can make
their experience more
natural.
I have edited in private wikis before and I have edited the talk pages.
I
used the Visual Editor, even though I am
well-versed in the syntax. I
had
the advantage of a very very experienced user by
my side and it went
pretty
smooth -- so this report is not entirely fair.
Even though, I did
stumble
in a few places, however, and this is a learning
experience for me and
for
our team.
Overall I wish I had this on video. It is a bit like an experience of a
kid
making their first goal. Exhilarating.
So now I have a challenge back to you:
- Please pick a friend who has never edited before.
- Ask them to make an edit. Any edit in any language.
- Please have them write one paragraph about their experience.
- Have them send it to lila at wikimedia with the subject: #1
Thank you!!!
Lila
