I'm not so sure of that. we must take account of the fact
that the en wiki is the older one, and this mean it's in
great part obsolete or made of superposed planes, and it's
the more difficult to fix.

the download page is so a mess I could not accept to keep it
like it is. I myself revamped quite heavily this part, see
http://fr.opensuse.org/Téléchargement

Of course, if a real discussion arise and the english page
get a clear and wondefull aspect, I will follow it. as long
as this is not the case I would be glad to see ideas in the
others wikis

few users really switch langages. an anglish reading user is
free to use the en page if he find it better.

Front page is an other thing. We already discussed this
here, with very few people involved in the discussion and so
little value.

I personnally think than simplicity must be the key and that
the front page must be simpler than whats it is now.

I have made my page a bit simpler (mostly sidebar) and added
a picture of the new 10.1 box. Users consulted (french
forum) approved the chage. here one desagree, others agreed,
most don't care.

However I doubt unengaged people notice the differences

here also, if a clear consensus arise, I will follow it.

anyway localized wikis have in my opinion a quite different
goal from the english one. Fort example, I do not translate
the developpement version page. It's not entirely a choice,
I only choiced not to make them a priority. anyway, people
interested in this have to read english.
