I would love a single landing page that asks "What Can I Do…" and then has some really big, pretty buttons:
[Write Content]
[Write Code]
[Donate Money]
[Donate Services]
And then each goes to separate pages that explain what can be done.

Thoughts on what to put there? I cal already think of the following languages to put up:
- PHP
- JS
- Lua
- Python
- Java
- Obj-C
- 'Design'
I'll start a wiki page sometime to collect content, and then spend some time writing the code - we can even fork the original site's code and use it.
Thoughts?
Wikipedia needs editors just as much or more than it needs people who know PHP etc. I would prefer to focus on higher levels of contribution, one of which would be Code, and then drills down into the languages or
frameworks.
P.S. Can we *please* not bikeshed on the domain name? Domain names are cheap -- Yuvi Panda T http://yuvi.in/blog
