Shivansh Shrivastava developed these mockups which he presented at the WikiConference India and shared with me at the Mumbai hackathon:

https://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/

• English Wikipedia main page mockup with newsticker and gallery
• Sliding login/account creation panel (based on existing GPL'd jQuery plugin)
• Floating table of contents tab

Some interesting ideas there, I'm sure he'd welcome any comments on-list or off-list :-)

Interesting.

I changed the svn:mime-type prop so that the following urls now work: https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/Dynam... https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/Dynam... https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/Float... https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/Login... https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/Login...

I kind of like the slideshow, but I think it would make more sense in a gallery section of an article, rather then on the Main Page.

btw, Wikinews uses some js for animated ticker type things (Example: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Portal:New_Zealand ) in case anyone is interested, although its kind of feel out of favour recently [disclaimer: I'm one of the authors of the enwikinews js ticker hack thing].
