Hello,
just a quick and dirty design study for www.wikipedia.org (not all links are working, some text isn't translated yet and no colors are defined)
http://www.djini.de/Uploads/wikipedia/wikipedia.html
(tested on IE (Mac), Mozilla, lynx, links, iCab and Omniweb)
Maybe after Cunctator could be convinced that no old links will be broken we can progress a little bit in this affair.
I seem to be in the minority, but I think it looks pretty darn good! It all fits neatly onto my netscape screen so everything is visible at once, and the text isn't overly complicated or long. I assume that clicking on the language name eg 'Deutsche Wikipedia' will take you to that front page.
Some people are complaining that it seems to be a balkanised project - until all the databases are unified, then it IS balkinised. That's a fact of life. Once all the pedias are running on one server then I'd suggest a simple dropdown box that says 'What language would you like to work in today?' and then takes you to the appropriate place.
