Hi, everyone. I have a suggestion, why don't we change the Wikipedia main page? Here is a project prepared by me. Of course I'm not an expert webmaster and that's why it looks as it does, but I'd like you to take a look at it from a graphic design point of view. Personally, I think it's OK and much better than the present main page. Of course it's in Polish now but I (or somebody else) can easily prepare an English version and others can make their own language versions. Greetings Agni www.serwis.tarnow.cc/wikip.htm

This is best discussed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_page, not here. :)
I ask you- why change the main page? The one we have works well.
That's pretty sexy, Zeberko, but it needs work - compatibility of the table formatting across browsers, better distribution of the current navbar links. Please do participate in some of the design discussions on [[w:en:Talk:Main Page]] (and elsewhere, right? where are the other new proposed designs?); there are some good designers in the WP wings who might be happy to work with you. ~sj~

Hi.
A feeling > each project may feel better having its own design... though we all are influenced by other projects time
I have a suggestion Zeberko We have a new site main page design to create. The foundation website.

I haven't looked at this in a graphical browser, but I imagine it's very slick and eye-catching -- kudos. Unfortunately, I see that it's legacy HTML 4.0 markup, rife with tables and <FONT> tags, and thus compatible with neither our skinning system nor our Web design philosophies.
I don't have anything whatever to do with the design of the current site, but speaking as a user with rather strong personal opinions I'm inclined to reject it out of hand. That being said, perhaps it can be reworked in XHTML 1.1 and CSS with the help of our current team of very capable Webmonkeys, at which point I think everyone would be receptive to reconsideration.
