1. The text is slightly different from what we have now, in some

possibly debatable ways. Let's assume that our current text is not set in stone and that it would be desirable to make it emphasize more clearly our international scope.

If someone can write a better (maybe also shorter) introduction, I'll integrate it.

3. The major 'other languages' are made more prominent, with "text

images" saying the name of each language. I think that particular design feature is a bad idea (why make an image when text will do the job just fine?), but I like the overall look of making the other wikipedias more prominent.

There is a new version without images at http://www.djini.de/Uploads/wikipedia/wikipedia2.html

I took one of my old stylesheets so the colors (like the rest) are debatable.

I would be opposed to automatically pulling all those numbers out of the databases for every load of the homepage -- an automated daily updating would be more efficient and would suit our purposes just fine.

I totally agree with this.

4. Some of the "tools" are not linked here. Recent Pages, Random

Page, and so on. I would support restoring those; they are important. What say you?

Recentchanges, the most important, is there. The rest is language-dependent so we will get into trouble if we try putting them on the Main Page. I'd like to keep it as clear and simple as possible.
