I don't know how much work is to translate the
http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/1/17/OpenSUSE-splash-003.png
to a working model, but I have feeling that this and some section under
the logo, like article of the month that will pull people to visit
en.opensuse.org can be the right thing to do, right now.
The en.opensuse.org is the most complete and presentable in the moment
so little bias can help growth of the community.
Later it can be article of the month on any of the localized wikies. The
one that is most translated to others, for instance.

This would be the best proposal by now looking from prospective of new
users, and that is probably the most important category.

Although I prefer simple left navigation panel, that would demand deeper
reorganization of some pages, and that can take time that I don't want
to wait.

I vote for this one.

I see "Show me the graphics..."
but Firefox thinks that I should see this
http://en.opensuse.org/Open-iSCSI_and_SUSE_Linux

No need to look at, the spiral structure behind the nice squared and
sorted sections is not good  :-)

If some of my comments was the reason for this, somehow I skipped the
word "embedded" and helped for misunderstanding.

International splash might be embedded in normal en.opensuse.org , in
central portion instead of normal content. It will look similar as
http://en.opensuse.org/Image:OpenSUSE-splash-idea-001.png ,
but this might be too strong bias toward one language, and later when
authors that write in other languages make article of the month there
would be no place to advertise this.
