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
