If you don't have commit access and you click on the Web IDE button, a banner appears which says that you need to fork. The banner itself contains a fork button - if you press it, it creates the fork and then drops you into the web IDE from that single click. So, there's an extra step, but they've boiled it down to a single additional click. You would need to be logged in for this to work, of course. > I like the online editing experience for regular contributors > who want it, but I REALLY like it for people who want to make a > "drive-by" contribution. Also for getting new contributors interested - it's a great way to get started.
