What's the Publish/Discuss/Translate/etc blocks for? They look like
navigation but don't seem to go anywhere or correspond to anything.
They attempt to summarize the best features that MediaWiki can offer.
Indeed, there are no detailed product descriptions to link to, but this
is because we don't have them. I would say this is better than nothing.
Currently you either know what MediaWiki plus selected extensions can
offer, or you guess it by becoming a Wikipedia power user, or you need
to connect many pages in
mediawiki.org.
When i read that page it makes it seem like these features are available
out of the box, which is kind of misleading. In particular claiming we have
wysiwyg editing without mentioning visual editor is extremely difficult to
install doesnt seem like a good idea.
Personally i thought the translate box meant that the mediawiki interface
is translated into many languages (something we can certainly brag about).
Overall i like the idea of the redesign that you have in the uploaded file.

+1 bugzilla is very important for downstream users who have bugs.

Getting support is different from filing bugs.
