I like this idea. I think wikipedia.com could be an excellent place to have a page of the type:
"Welcome to Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is not like other web companies out there. [a bit of passionate text about what makes us different] Now, if you want to read Wikipedia content, please go to .. If you want to support Wikipedia, please go to .."
This would allow us to retain redirects from article URLs as well.
I'd support doing that right away unless there's a good reason not to, actually. :-)

This is a step in the right direction. I know the German and French chapters have been thinking for a while about such portals for wikipedia.de and wikipedia.fr for example. This is definitely a very important move towards communicating the right message.
Thanx Erik and Kat.
