Several of us have been working on improving the Main Page and are pretty satisfied with the results. See http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page/Temp
And also a before and after screenshot: http://www.wikipedia.org/upload/1/1e/MainPageTemp-800pxWide.png
Comments about added improvements and edits are welcome.
It would be great if we could work on this some more and then go live with the new version on January 15th aka Wikipedia Day. It would also be great if we all concentrated on trying to make 100,000 articles by the 15th.
Speaking of which, a press release is also in order for Wikipedia Day.....
Power to the Wiki and Happy New Year!
