[Wikimedia-l] New design for the list info page?

[Isarra Yos]

I agree that a restyle is in order, but I'd advise against using this, 
at least in its current form, due to usability problems presented by the 
contrast. Solid black background, white foreground, and grey text all 
add up to eyestrain, and on lower-quality monitors it can make the grey 
text quite difficult to read as well. The logo, headers, and buttons are 
also strangely large, making the rest of the text seem even smaller by 
comparison, similarly not helping readability.

Something more in line with designs used on other Wikimedia things 
(current mediawiki skin, the blog layouts, gerrit's style, etc) would 
probably be best just so people feel more at home, if anyone would like 
to take the time, but that would probably be more difficult to do.
