Several months is quite a lengthy test, I'm surprised it's for so long. But if it helps lead to an improved Editor then great, as I'm sure anyone familiar with the efforts to improve it over the years will say it has met with mixed results. That being said the WYSIWYG editor is a lot better than it used to be, we don't have much in the way of broken code in tables etc because of it like we did 5+ years ago. But personally I still prefer to have source mode selected as default in my settings so I expect I won't see any change myself during this.

I have a couple of questions :
 * 1) When will this start?
 * 2) Also how/why were we chosen for this?
 * 3) While I have no objection to this experiment being done here and value its end goal, I'm a bit confused why we were not consulted beforehand (maybe its just such a minor matter?). In particular I'm concerned about future experiments that are, shall we say less likely to be welcomed, being pushed upon a wiki as an experiment. Can you give an assurance that more intrusive/fundamental changes wont be made without getting community agreement first, like say conducting an experiment on the new discussions feature, article comments or message walls?
