I think a recorded Tech Talk focusing on demoing the product would be very useful. An IRC office hour when most people haven't seen or used the new editor probably less so.

Enable the "new wikitext editor" item, go to http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/World?action=edit (for example) and see what it looks like when you switch back and forth.
