We are planning to run a central notice letting all users know that the
changes are on the way. This will let us capture the majority of users
who aren't on either the lists or on the other places we've posted the
message (Village Pump and Admin's Noticeboard).

I want the vector skin but not the new toolbar. (I prefer to do my
wikimarkup by hand.) Is there a way to use the new interface but the

Everything should be customizable from "Special:Preferences".
See
"Editing" => "Beta features".
