 * More that a bit concerned with the concept of draws behind drawers show on this screen, I think its possible to show users there is "more behind" but could be rather difficult.
 * It might be annoying to have to go through notification every time to see my profile/contributions

Advantages

Concerns
 * I know this could make the articles themselves cleaner but it feels like a weird interaction, it could also could be an accessibility issue, dragging to drop something on a specific precise point on screen could be a problem for people with mobility issues.

 * the puzzle piece thing is fun, but it hides the actual change, making the user have to click through to more info rather than giving them something at a glance.

 * Drag from the W? I'm confused, it seems that this means there are now 3 drag left to right actions now, which seems really overloaded.
 * I think we can do better at showing contribution CTAs to me this feels like its actually hiding them
 * if it only turns into a draggable element when there are recent changes would it be obvious when its not in the puzzle piece stare?

 * I like the concept.

Advantages

Concerns basically some of the ways you navigate are purposeful, like following wikilink, and some that start new threads through the site, like search, random, and external sources. Jaredzimmerman (WMF) (talk) 09:28, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * but, this actually seems like it would be a good "edge drag" screen rather than a totally separate place, I wonder if partial left edge drag was previous page, and full edge drag was history/how i got here would work?
 * would break these into "threads" e.g. Search→wikilink→wikilink→wikilink→current page,  External link→wikilink→offsite link,   echo notification→article→history,   Random→article
