[Wikipedia-l] www.wikipedia.org portal

[Catherine Munro]

I recently suggested a new design for the www.wikipedia.org portal, which 
has since been developed by AlanBarrett and several others more talented 
than I.   After some very positive feedback, another user has now put the 
design up for a vote.  I would like to get full input from users of all 
languages and browsers as this should definitely not be a decision made by 
en: users alone.

* Current portal:  http://www.wikipedia.org/
Please note that the current portal has been recently updated to add the 
Dutch Wikipedia (which just reached 50,000), but that the page is protected 
so that contributors have not yet been able to work out an ideal solution 
to the layout of seven 50+ languages -- if the current one is kept a better 
solution will obviously be found.

* Proposed 
portal:  http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Www.wikipedia.org_portal/Catherine
Note that after the poll went up, it was discovered that this design does 
not currently work in the Konqueror 3.1 browser.  Work is ongoing to find 
the CSS bugs responsible, and any possible workarounds -- if you have 
experience in this area, please comment on the talk page 
(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Www.wikipedia.org_portal/Catherine).

* The vote: 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Www.wikipedia.org_portal#Poll_on_Catherine.27s_version
Voting set to end February 11.

Thank you for your time!
Catherine
