And few points I would like to add:
When the new user land up in this page;
1. Where does he finds the link "HOW TO EDIT WIKIPEDIA"?
2. How he/she can learn "HOW TO SIGN UP AND BECOME AN USER"?
3. The user should not keep on visiting 2/3 pages to search where he can know about Wikipedia.
IMO though the site is specifically about WMIN but the focus is to bring new users into the Wikipedia initiative, so the core message "LETS EDIT WIKIPEDIA" should be very clearly visible in all the the pages
wikimedia.in,
wiki.wikimedia.in and
blog.wikimedia.in as a link which has instructions for him to learn.

Hello! Many of you would know PlaneMad (Arun Ganesh), and I had asked
him to see if he can design anything for Wikipedia.in, etc. He's sent
me a mockup that I absolutely love, and am willing to spend time
htmlizing. Thoughts?

questions that a user has:
1) where am i?
2) what do i get here?
3) how do i find it?
the current landing pages are actually quite cryptic to someone new.
something like this would help someone explore and learn. click any
language tab and all the text changes to that language. The project
boxes stay visible, the search flyout loads on hover. will it work?
