[Foundation-l] Project portals (was: Update board meeting reportjune 2007)

Nice suggestion.  Did you by any chance know that these are editable by all
administrator of Meta-Wiki? You can make your changes to a /test of the main
site page.  There is a listing of these templates for the site front pages
at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Project_portals.

On a related topic, what would people think of improving the main
portals for the projects other than Wikipedia? The Wikipedia portal
[1] works very nicely, and I think it would be a simple matter to give
the other projects a similarly elegant and professional look simply by
copying the design and substituting the central logo. The stacks of
books could be substituted to add a little flavour; Wikinews for
example could have little stacks of newspapers instead.
