Re: Project portals (was: Update board meeting reportjune 2007)

Nice suggestion. Did you by any chance know that these are editable by all
administrator of Meta-Wiki? You can make your changes to a /test of the main
site page. There is a listing of these templates for the site front pages
at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Project_portals.

On a related topic, what would people think of improving the main
portals for the projects other than Wikipedia? The Wikipedia portal
[1] works very nicely, and I think it would be a simple matter to give
the other projects a similarly elegant and professional look simply by
copying the design and substituting the central logo. The stacks of
books could be substituted to add a little flavour; Wikinews for
example could have little stacks of newspapers instead.

Yes, I'd spotted those, but the suggestion is just to copy the
existing Wikipedia portal, which we already know works well, plus it's
a suggestion to change all of them and I figured this mailing list
(with a discussion ongoing already in a related area) would get more
attention than a Meta backwater :)
