I also liked the current design of wikimedia.in. Rather simple but clean. If your last visit was a few days back, just have a look again.
I think its important to keep the chapter landing page (wikimedia.in ) and wikipedia / wikiprojects landing page seperate. wikimedia.in can continue in form, probably add more details about the chapter on landing page (like the twitter feed / facebook / donate links etc) and wikipedia.in can be to explain about wikiprojects, can take the current design of globe / use the proposed design.
