Forum:Main Page

Main Page
I've lately been toying around with a possible new design for the Main Page (User:Villa Cruoninga/Main Page) and I wondered what you think about it and whether we should consider adopting it. I tried to make a design that matches the current default skin. I think it includes everything included on the current Main Page with the exception of the intro text stating the origin of the Althistory Wiki, which I replaced with the date of foundation. Though interesting, a friend of mine pointed out that it is a bit awkward that this information is the first thing new users get to see, which brings me to my second point:

History of the Althistory Wiki
Since I know hardly anything about the Brown University Conlang mailing list or Yahoo! Conculture group, and I don't expect that many people here do, wouldn't it be a good idea to make an article on, at least the early parts, of the history of the Althistory Wiki?

Featured articles
Then my last point, once again related to the Main Page. Is anything still done with the featured article of the month. As it stands now we're just recycling last years featured articles. Shouldn't this project be rejuvenated, or else replaced by a system that works with tags? --Karsten vK (talk) 17:37, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
