It's not many. So please switch it on (you can still click "Edit
source" to do references and templates) and give it a good kicking. A
bug discovered now saves endless newbie pain later.

To: WMF Editor Engagement Team <ee(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello everyone,
I am happy to announce that we just deployed the first release of
Notifications today on the English Wikipedia!
Please try it out and let us know right away if you see any bugs or
issues -- or have comments or suggestions.
Notifications should start appearing in a red badge next to your name
on en.wikipedia.org very soon -- as well as on your archive page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Notifications
Before you test Notifications, we recommend that you go to your
preferences page, and enable all the notifications you want (be sure
to check email notifications, which are mostly 'opt-in' for current
users):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo
For general tips on how Notifications work, check our FAQ page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notifications/FAQ
For more tips on how to test notifications, check this testing page:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo/Testing
Once you've tested Notifications, please join the discussion on this talk page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Editor_engagement/Echo
You are also welcome to post technical bugs directly on Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions…
Many thanks to Kaldari, Benny, Luke, Vibha, Oliver, Dario, Brandon,
