Talk:Main Page/redesign
This page had gotten a bit confusing, so I archived the old content at Talk:Main Page/redesign/archive of dicussion. I think the redesign is almost ready, but I read through the discussions and we have a few loose ends to tie up.
- Any last suggestions for design, color scheme or content on this main page?
- What should be included in the video column on the right? OpAphid? NBR? Immant? PaulMark?
- Do we need any tweaks to the column on the left, or do we need to start working on some of the pages that the column on the left links to?
- What exactly is the purpose of the Featured Article? What sort of articles do we pick and how?
I think once we've answered these questions, we're ready to take it live. We'll want to check in with TWJaniak of course. I'd like to put it up January 3rd. For now, I'd like to jump in on #4, as I think it's an important part of our page. I think the featured article should rotate about once a week. I think that, similar to other wikis, we should use the spot to feature interesting, well-done articles that people might not find otherwise. Some examples that I think could work -- meta-articles about the series like Down The Rabbit Hole that I worked on, the LG15 Soundtrack, really cool fan videos like Deemontreal, an interesting new page like Everything You Need To Play OpAphid when it was first created, or many of the theory pages like Water Theme. Other candidates could be old standbys that get a good reworking -- and of course there will be new pages that haven't been created yet. The other goal of a featured article section is to encourage people to write creative articles knowing that hard work will be prominently showcased.--JayHenry 12:07, 29 December 2006 (CST)
