Perhaps this question is too broad for this page, but I would like to know if there is plans for an interactive "onboarding" process for first-time users of the Visual Editor?
Currently, when you first hit "edit" in the visual editor, there is a popup box that says welcome, and some info about the VE. After you dismiss that, you're on your own. I recently came across this blogpost which explains the the onboarding process for Duolingo, it also reminded me of the similar, and very very good, onboarding process I experienced when using the new OpenStreetMap editor for the first time. Both seamlessly took me through a little training exercise before letting me loose on the real project.
So... I know it's not in the scope of the VE team's work to improve the software, but is there plans to create a seamless, interactive (i.e. not "go read the documentation first then come back and try again") onboarding system for the Visual Editor - that a first-time editor is presented with? There are obvious questions to answer about "would this interfere with the 'immediate satisfaction of seeing your changes' that gets many anon's to start editing in the first place?" and "would this be presented to existing users who are using the VE for the first time, or only to newly registered users?". But, as a general idea, is this on the drawing board?
