[Wikisource-l] Changing the Main Page

[jkbwiki]

Hi.
Though i did not discus to this matter yet, here some thoughts.   I do not 
matter much how the main page is graphically done. But it is fully 
insufficient how the activity is beeing measured. The number of pages is a 
very bad method. In the past, many projetcs used this to get more on the top 
by bot edits (e.g. the sk.wiki did some more thousands pages of Czech 
villages or meteorits, everything one line), and also some Wikisource 
domains did: I remeber one that published the Bible on some more hundred od 
thousand pages (just one page a verse), now the cs.source published some 770 
pages of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (four verse a page in all). Such 
decisions can have some real reasons but I guess there is also the fact to 
make many pages and to get a good place in the top ten or top twenty or so.

Therefore there should be a change that shows more precisely the activity of 
a subdomain.

Regards,

Jan
