Also on the record: I am firmly against a static "portal" page at www.wikipedia.org. I think it's a very bad idea.

It simply means I'm against the static front page idea. I don't think it solves any fundamental problems, but that's not the point; even if it was *only* a symbolic gesture of goodwill I would support it. However, I believe it would be harmful to the project as a whole, not just the English language part of the project.
I, along with others, have stated my reasons, and I'll state them again if requested. I (again, with others) have proposed an alternate solution that I believe would extend the same goodwill, be more functional, and avoid the pitfalls of a static front page of links. I will state this again too upon request.
Yes, please repeat your solution. I just looked over all your posts at intlwiki-l (since 17.9.2002 - 34 messages) and didn't find anything on this topic.
In what way is the actual page at http://www.wikipedia.org not a "static page full of links"? (In this case only links into the english wikipedia and to the front pages of the other 'pedias.)
