I can see Florence's point about the challenges with Meta's main page making it not just a working environment, but a very strange-looking one. I think a more public-facing main page and separate working portal would be beneficial. I note that while I frequently visit Meta (much more than I edit there), I almost never go there through what is now the main page. I usually arrive through links to other pages, and then navigate to anything else I need to look at. I would almost say that its main page, by not knowing which of these purposes it serves, is presently failing at both.
