Hi,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and useful pointers to improve Wiki. I have created a discussion threadhttp://wiki.wikimedia.in/Talk:Main_Page#Main_page_redesign_needs_35on the talk page of main page and also included the main page redesign in the scope of Wiki project http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Wiki of our projects list. Kindly continue further discussion on the Wiki talk page or project page and sign up as volunteer on the project page as that will help all the discussions on the Wiki itself.
Cheers Arjun
