Even better, the smaller wikis have very little screen space, so it
might be impossible to get to them! Great design.

And I was going to say something about no-www [0] compliance, but that's
not from their design, apparently there are rewrite (or redirect) rules
in place for it. Ah well.

Represent all the arguments:

[0] http://no-www.org
[1] http://www.yes-www.org (apparently defunct)
[2] http://www.www.extra-www.org/

Re: Design comments (and note about no-www) [In reply to]

Are there statistics available about the number of people that go to
www.wikipedia.org and then go to specific language wikipedias?

I don't get the part about "roll over the top right corner". I see a
direct link to Česky Wikipedia in the "100 000+" AND in the drop-down
menu.

Re: Design comments (and note about no-www) [In reply to]

That's what they proposed it should look like.

Currently, there is a direct link to the Czech Wikipedia
(and all the other Wikipedias) on www.wikipedia.org, like you said.

But in the proposal from http://www.wikipediaredefined.com/,
which is what I was replying to (but wasn't quoted in Mark's email),
it is the way I described.
