I recently suggested a new design for the www.wikipedia.org portal, which has since been developed by AlanBarrett and several others more talented than I. After some very positive feedback, another user has now put the design up for a vote. I would like to get full input from users of all languages and browsers as this should definitely not be a decision made by en: users alone.
* Current portal: http://www.wikipedia.org/ Please note that the current portal has been recently updated to add the Dutch Wikipedia (which just reached 50,000), but that the page is protected so that contributors have not yet been able to work out an ideal solution to the layout of seven 50+ languages -- if the current one is kept a better solution will obviously be found.
* Proposed portal: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Www.wikipedia.org_portal/Catherine Note that after the poll went up, it was discovered that this design does not currently work in the Konqueror 3.1 browser. Work is ongoing to find the CSS bugs responsible, and any possible workarounds -- if you have experience in this area, please comment on the talk page (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Www.wikipedia.org_portal/Catherine).
* The vote: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Www.wikipedia.org_portal#Poll_on_Catheri... Voting set to end February 11.
Thank you for your time! Catherine [[en:User:CatherineMunro]]
