I've been working on a little redesign project for the Main Page on wikitech [0] and three key sub pages it points to since 2016-01-01 in my User space. Tonight I decided that although it is far from perfect it is better enough. I hope that some of you like it better than the old page and that none of you hate it with a fiery passion that compels you to revert it rather than helping me make it better.

Thank you! The new page is a clear improvement over the old one https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=203274.

I like it. I think it's great you make the divisions between Wikitech, WM Labs, and tool labs immediately clear. It should make the differences more apparent for new users right from the beginning.

Nice. What is needed to get other labs projects listed on the front page like tools?

An edit? :) I'd love to see portals created for Beta Cluster and deployers for example. I'm sure there are some other really useful projects in Labs that could use highlighting as well. Tool Labs ended up with top billing based on my presumption that it is the most widely used Labs project and one of the top reasons that a new viewer who isn't already familiar with finding things on wikitech would end up there.
I need to kill my table formatting and replace it with something that is actually mobile friendly too. The page I made looks horrible on my phone. :(

Nice work, Bryan. Thanks!

Thank you Bryan! Well done.
(Gosh, now I envy you. Maybe we should just start updating the mediawiki.org homepage edit by edit.)
