May I change the layout of the homepage of the English Wikipedia to that of the Esperanto Wikipedia? I think that layout looks much better. I would ask this on [[Talk:Main Page]], but not many people look there that often, and this would be a huge change.
IMO that is HMTL madness -- WAY too many spurious colors that mean nothing and whose only purpose is to look "purty" in the eyes of the designer. We have already worked out a more conservative color scheme for the Main Page but were waiting for some earth-shattering announcement to make to go with the upgrade (such as "The Wikimedia Foundation is open for business and is now accepting donations!" - not that we would say that on the Main Page but we would have a link to a press release).
See: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page/Temp Which is based on: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Why do the section headings "Encyclopedia" and "Community" have a line height smaller than their font size? Text is really rather difficult to read when all the descenders are truncated.
