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&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.
