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?

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?

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.

Just saw this. I like the design a lot. It's cleaner and attractive. The free images can be rotated periodically.
Thank you, Planemad and Yuvi!

We could also probably have twitter feed of WikimediaIndia and link to like FB page to make it more social?
Hoi, Do the Devanagari characters indicate a similar page in an Indic language? Thanks, Gerard

Hi,
The design looks nice. The photo mentions the person as a singer. Actually, it is a photograph of a person smoking a Hukka and a covered sword on the lap. Nothing to do with any musician.
I also liked the current design of wikimedia.in. Rather simple but clean. If your last visit was a few days back, just have a look again.

I think its important to keep the chapter landing page (wikimedia.in ) and wikipedia / wikiprojects landing page seperate. wikimedia.in can continue in form, probably add more details about the chapter on landing page (like the twitter feed / facebook / donate links etc) and wikipedia.in can be to explain about wikiprojects, can take the current design of globe / use the proposed design.
Irrespective of this happening, Can some remove the Marquee from the current website (wikimedia.in) soonish?
0. Marquee is deprecated,non standard element [1] 1. Its well beyond Jan 15.
