A vote is currently underway on the central portal page www.wikipedia.org, which offers a choice between different Wikipedia languages. I'd like to point out that User:Forseti has recently created a new design, which I think deserves some attention. The vote is still running until February 11 - I encourage everyone who has voted for Catherine's version (which is very nice indeed!) to take a second look.

What I don't like about the poll is that the vast, sweeping majority of the voters are from en.wikipedia, who found the voting page because it was listed on the village pump.
In most Meta votes, en: users do dominate, but not by such an unrealistic margin.
In addition, I think that the concerns of some of the voters should be explored in more depth, namely problems with Konqueror, and the books.
Also, the deadline of Feb 11 doesn't allow for a fair time for Forseti's version or other possible opposing designs.

...which he, of course, knows the language to.
That was what I meant by "what's your point". I could do that for ja:, zh:, and perhaps fr: or es:, but...
