Main page ideas

To refine the main page of meta. (it might not need anything, but it feels a bit awkward, so we can investigate)

See also Main page refactor

Why

(it's pretty good now, but wikimedia is a first or second rate website, and it's getting more and more popular, so there is no reason to try to figure out how to make it better, it gets used a lot.... it's good, but it is used so much that better will be a good return.

This also deals with the core layout of the wikimedia foundation, as websites reflect the organization of a group.

Main points

• language starting points
• meta utilities
• software
• foundation
• collaboration

collaboration

Meta utilities goes with collaboration

the software facilitiates collaboration

foundation is a structure for collaboration

language starting points allow for cross language collaboration

utilities

moderators may need to act quick even though they don't know the language

software doesn't cover everything, so conventions must be made, called utilities

the foundation gains new members through some of the utilities

the collaboration is facilitated by utilities

software

The langauges are supported by the software

the utilities cover shortcommings in the software

the foundation produces the software

the collaboration is done through the software

foundation

(I'm running out of my alloted time to wiki today, note, it is possible to have mutliple starting points that are focused on different things.
