[Foundation-l] Quarto est mort ! Vive Quarto !

[Anthere]

Hello everyone

 

During the past few weeks, I have reflected on what should be the future of Quarto and how  the Wikimedia Foundation main page could be refactored. Both Quarto and the main page have been launched a year ago now, so it was high time to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of both and to see what could be done to keep the best of both systems.

 

So, what I propose is that Quarto disappear and will be somehow merged in the Foundation website. I’ll try to create the main page as I perceive it in the next few days (from a structural perspective). It will be easier to "show" than to try to explain with words. But please comment !

 

When I am roughly done, I would like some feedback from anyone on it, we can changed it together, and it will naturally have to be approved by Angela, Jimbo, Tim and Michael. If no one likes it, well.... we'll go back to the old one or will do something else :-)

 

During a third phase, I would be glad of some help to improve it from a ergonomic point of view, add some colors, icons
 because I am really not very good at that ;-)

 

We could then translate it if some people are willing to help. Please do not until things are a bit more fixed.

 

Hopefully, we could do something which would keep the good sides of Quarto, while removing or lessening the defaults.
