I've created the page http://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Changing_the_main_page , that intends to be a starting point for those with no time or patience to read the entire discussion on wiki and here at the mailing list. This may be helpful specially for those that will be known this issue only when spamming their local Village pump, for example. My intention is to make a detailed page like the http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Top_Ten_Wikipedias
In addition to the debate about how we should rank subdomains, I think we should discuss whether it is really useful to display a main page that gives so much importance to ranking.
I believe the main page should not be a 'hall of fame'. It should not be an incentive to inflate number of pages.
To illustrate this, I have made a new proposal for the layout, where only the top 10 languages are displayed. I think this simplified layout is much easier to read.
This relates to my previous comment : http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&diff=247906&o... http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&diff=247906&oldid=247810
This proposal is only about layout : it is independent from the choice of criterion that we use to select the top 10 languages.
