Hoi,
I have had a look at the proposed change to the portal page and I do not 
like the background with all the languages. It is too cluttered to my 
taste. It is also a distraction from the 10 big languages that are being 
obscured in this way. I appreciate the effort but I do not like it.
Thanks,
    GerardM
