I believe good design is a key issue for editor
attraction and retention, so that we can produce >professional-looking articles we can
be proud of and want to write. I would also love to see the >Foundation redesign the
front page.
Given how many of the candidates for the board in the election just
concluded ran on an implicit or explicit platform of discouraging the Foundation from
doing such things (no doubt a legacy of last year’s dustup over Media Viewer on dewiki),
this would be a formidable task even to propose.
It's hard for the community to take the lead when
it comes to design
As any regular reader of T:MP knows ... It seems that at least
once a month someone there proposes redesigning the Main Page and usually gets gently shot
down (although often they really don’t seem to have an idea what would replace it, or if
they do not a good one).
