This is also true for other redesigns such as the recent "more readable Wikipedia" design: http://weare1910.com/sites/default/files/project/wikipedia_new_desktop_full.jpg Of course there are lots of issues with it - it's always a lot easier when you don't have to design with reality as a constraint :) Erik -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Definitely minimalist, but doesn't help highlight that we've got other language projects :) As far as infobox: I think the right area with the picture and population and national anthem is a good area for iteration. It's a little light on info like Risker says, but I think you could add more info there without necessarily cluttering things. > > I like the three-column layout (obviously; [1]), and the map/timezone > > display is nice. > > > +1. -Chad ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Could you or your friend please post https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unsolicited_redesigns to the thread?

Re: [Wikitech-l] Another Wikipedia design concept
I thought it looked like one of those pesky commercial travel sites; it might be the subject matter, but it just looked so void of content that I was convinced it was trying to sell me something.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Another Wikipedia design concept
Well, it does away with most of the infobox data and those pesky language links... I like the three-column layout (obviously; [1]), and the map/timezone display is nice.
