really, really excited!" Sorry, Harej, I'm sure you have excellent intentions but, having been a web designer since the early 90's (you know, when you wrote your own html and looooong before unicode was stable), experience has taught me that simple is usually better. You can spend inordinate amounts of time working on being incredibly clever in order to make it a wizz-bang impressive site or an intuitive and clean approach with a lot more going on behind the scenes than you'd expect. Looks good; seems to work on all browsers; tried on various OS's, etc... but when you road test it IRL you suddenly discover that you didn't reinvent the wheel and the vehicle's just sitting on the asphalt (I LOVE bad analogies!). Unless you stick to absolute fundamentals, the next big thing becomes old and obsolete very quickly (and probably not even supported by the next generation of browsers). --

that I've long since ceased to use the google home page as my own home page because it sometimes takes ridiculously long periods of time to load (dependent on their server, my server, traffic & a multitude of factors), being concerned with byte-heavy is an entirely different concern in terms of the Knowledge (XXG) entry page. Levels of logic and a sense of who the entry page 'audience' truly are should be the primary concern. I'm sticking to my guns on this issue - being that a simple feedback form for collecting information from the primary users on the current page would be a genuinely informed process of gleaning useful information rather than asking contributors/editors to guestimate what users want. That's just us piping up about our personal predilections and ignoring the majority of users. --
2001:"Three years ago, while I was a web developer at YouTube, one of the senior engineers began a rant about the page weight of the video watch page being far too large. The page had ballooned to as high as 1.2MB and dozens of requests. This engineer openly vented that “if they can write an entire Quake clone in under 100KB, we have no excuse for this!” Given that I agreed with him and I was excited to find a new project, I decided to champion the cause of getting the YouTube watch page to weigh in under 100KB. On the shuttle home from San Bruno that night, I coded up a prototype. I decided to limit the functionality to just a basic masthead, the video player, five related videos, a sharing button, a flagging tool, and ten comments loaded in via AJAX. I code-named the project “Feather”. 2006:"Even with such a limited set of features, the page was weighing in at 250KB. I dug into the code and realized that our optimization tools (i.e. Closure compilation) were unable to exclude code that was never actually used in the page itself (which would be an unfair expectation of any tool under the circumstances). The only way to reduce the code further was to optimize by hand the CSS, Javascript, and image sprites myself. After three painstaking days, I had arrived at a much leaner solution. It still was not under 100KB though. Having just finished writing the HTML5 video player, I decided to plug it in instead of the far heavier Flash player. Bam! 98KB and only 14 requests. I threaded the code with some basic monitoring and launched an opt-in to a fraction of our traffic. 3792:

Google needs to realize that their users are to dimwitted to find any of those unless that are "featured" on the Google main page. You want to tell them or should I? --

do so within a couple of generation. In fact, if you bother to check what you're developing while you're even in the process of development (which I used to do in a roomful of computers on different platforms, OS's, a myriad of browsers and user resolution preferences, ad nauseum, you'll find that anything beyond absolutely straight forward ends up as an unsightly and incoherent mess and, of the myriad of browsers available, a substantial number won't recognise your recognise or display your CSS in the first place). A basic html page deploying the minimum CSS (which defers to the user's CSS as the preference: call me crazy but

committee" has been established. The RFC raised awareness of serious concerns. Perhaps you should re-read it and acquaint yourself with issues raised. These can be found between wish lists for cool features. "A consistent UX vision" doesn't equal a good UX vision unless it has established who the 'user' is and what could be detrimental to their experience. I feel you're being dismissive of the construction process and constructive input for those who will actually be redesigning without taking it on as a unilateral decision. It's moved past the "kvetching" to phase two. --
1414:? Incremental updates are always going to beat out rewrites, I think. At least at this point. Identifying what's wrong (even a small piece) and then working on just getting that fixed is the way to go. That could be just a certain section (e.g., enhance the featured picture section in some way), or a particular color (no more green!), or whatever. Just fixing up the header box to be a little less ugly would be a great first step, in my opinion, and might snowball into other good, healthy incremental updates to the page. 294:- can perhaps be done simultaneously with the last step. To be located here at a subpage, and open to editing by all editors, to include the best elements/layout as identified above. Multiple versions could be considered. At this stage it would be useful to recruit people with template and/or HTML/web design knowledge in order to create a proper, working alternative. Assistance from the wikiprojects managing the current elements of the main page may also be required. The final version will need to be edit protected. 4285:, my apologies for taking so (seriously) long to respond as I was caught up in a plethora of fair dinkum Knowledge (XXG) messes I couldn't relegate to the backburner. I'm sorry that my comments read as being disparaging however, I did look at the source of your proposal and got a sense of what you are/were trying to accomplish. While I can appreciate your intent as regards delivery, it doesn't translate well in practice per your example. Unfortunately, there's many a slip between the theory and the design reality. 715:- basically step 5 of the process - but you have it divided into separate "focal points". Whilst it would be nice to implement content, layout, and design/style changes separately, they are inevitably tied into each other, unless only very minor changes are considered. If a content block is added or removed, than that forces a change in layout. Similarly, major design/style changes may change the relative size of content blocks, requiring layout changes and/or content changes to be considered. 4963: 276:- to be widely advertised. Discussion to be based around comments which support or oppose statements (which would either be worked out in the brainstorming, or alternatives proposed by anyone at the RFC). Each section would be open a minimum of 30 days, but not be closed until there is consensus. If a section does not seem to be reaching consensus, and discussion isn't continuing, then it may need to be closed as "no consensus". 4327:
of cyberspace more recently and just adore gimmickry, ignoring the logic of WC3's aims. The fun of Knowledge (XXG) is, to my way of thinking, in the fantastic content to be discovered. Working on the premise that it's a commercial concern and should, therefore, reflect snazzy commercial design is counterproductive. The tortoise approach may be arduous but will, eventually, win the race. Here's to the hard plod ahead! --
4950: 4976: 4898: 4911: 3940:) but found that nobody was particularly interested in discussing anything other than minor tweaks to the existing byzantine and sesquipedalian loquaciousnes. This predilection for prolix exposition and visual sonorities too pleonastic to be expeditiously assimilated notwithstanding the availability of far more comprehensible albeit diminutive alternatives profundicates me greatly. -- 4885: 4937: 4924: 4846: 4820: 4872: 4833: 4581: 691:- Whilst this is your viewpoint, it is important to know the view of the community - perhaps there are a significant number of people who think "it aint broke, don't fix it"? There would be no point in designing a "major overhaul" if there were to be only minority support for this type of change, therefore making it is unlikely to pass the final vote. 2025:"When we plotted the data geographically and compared it to our total numbers broken out by region, there was a disproportionate increase in traffic from places like Southeast Asia, South America, Africa, and even remote regions of Siberia. Further investigation revealed that, in these places, the average page load time under Feather was over 1879: 4859: 5161:
they consider their 'enemies' with reverts rather than developing articles. Evasion would be far more difficult if they had to use up their finite store of email accounts and go through the process of creating more, plus having to set up another user account. Slowing down the process certainly does put a damper on that kind of enthusiasm.
755:"The main page should include a ..... section" (with endorse and oppose sections). The degree of support for each statement would show us the relative importance of each aim, which could influence layout. Also, we will need to specify that were are not looking for just one primary aim (that seemed to be unclear in the 2011 RFC). 2809:
news headlines possibly flashing or just scrolling along the top of the page in the manner of a news ticker, also there should be a much larger image on the page, and the font is a bit square, should be replaced for something a bit more fun. I think this would get more people keen to view more parts of the site.
2220:? Long meandering discussions like this will never reach a consensus on anything. If you give the community 10 choices, none of them will get over 50% (or even close to it), and therefore will never reach a consensus. And a discussion like this that has perhaps hundreds of differnt ideas will be even worse. 4263:), and I agree that a way for users to customize their userpage more easily would be helpful, especially for newcomers. There are some ideas and tentative plans in that direction, but I can't find the link. All we've had for the past few years is the slightly terrifying (overwhelming) and getting outdated 5178:
Naturally, I am aware of the argument for account only access having come up before and, on balance, I have to agree that it possibly wouldn't make that much impact and may be considered contrary to the spirit of this resource... but I'd still like to see what would happen if it was given a one month

to promote content discovery (a legitimate concept, even in the era of minimalist home pages), even if the current implementation of this is excessive and/or broken and/or some other negative adjective. The RFC, as far as I can remember (I will have to double-check), was heading more in the direction

Ah, interesting. I've put it on my watchlist and will take a look at it next time I swan around WM (which I haven't done much of since their Privacy Policy child (... er, reader) friendly. Sadly, serious overhauls of the entry page are going to be scrutinized by those who were inducted into the world

You seem to have overlooked my take on the simplicity of Guy's presentation. I made a point of how quickly even simple CSS tricks such as tabs, tooltips, hovering text dependent on div alignment, etc. become obsolete very, very quickly. Newer browsers which once supported the nifty stuff simply don't

I can relate to the attraction to simple aesthetics (I'm not a fan of rounded corners and gradients and other superfluous stylistic flourishes - they distract from the content, and (if imperfectly done, or on imperfect platforms) take additional time to render), but I think that retaining most of the

I hope so, that's why I proposed it. The current styling is just a demonstration (which I can't help tinkering with), which perhaps will trigger other designs when we get there. But this framework does allow us to have separate and concurrent discussions on content/layout and styling. If however this

Correspondingly, entire populations of people simply could not use YouTube because it took too long to see anything. Under Feather, despite it taking over two minutes to get to the first frame of

The background section mentions the 2012 proposals and mock-ups, any chance that these (and other previous?) discussions could be linked to in said section to aid those who's thinking caps may be running low on power and so people can have an idea of what has floated or sank with the community in the
754:
What I envision for the RFC is a set of statements about the aims of the main page, with endorse and oppose sections. Each aim would be followed by discussion of whether the current main page achieves each aim, and if not, what needs to change. The discussion could lead to further statements, such as
473:
Obviously we don't want steps to drag on for too long, but also there is no sense having a firm deadline if discussion and collaboration is ongoing. If discussion is going stale, then it needs to be closed with consensus determined. I suppose a rough timetable could be worked out, as long as it isn't
2808:
I believe the main page of Knowledge (XXG) could be make a great deal bolder with a couple of small changes. The top boxes (In the News) and (Today's Featured Article} are not bold enough - the headings should be in BOLD and ALL-CAPS and the typeface should be at least 2 points larger, with the blue
2491:
That captures the essence of it. In general, a future design will likely retain all the existing elements, although perhaps in smaller sections to accommodate additional sections. One thing to clarify is wither goals 1, 2 and 3 are in priority order. If they are, then designs should reflect that (50
1954:
Is the goal of this phase of the rfc to make a list of all the ideas that have come up, and than discuss the merits of each one individually in another rfc? I worry that this process will be taken by some to be an all or nothing deal, rather than a way to discuss the best ideas and use them to guide
926:
I do think that there should be a follow-up straw poll, with its exact nature determined by the responses received in the initial discussion (which might or might not give us a good idea of the amount of change desired, while hopefully narrowing our focus to a manageable subset of the ideas laid out
5160:
Of course they can. I wouldn't argue against the fact that there are already more than enough POV pushers here already. I'm just getting of sick of certain users who were blocked years ago, but are still present and running the gamut of IP hopping and being disruptive for the sake of tying up those
4240:
I have been thinking about your "I really dislike clicking multiple times" comment. Of course you can always create a page in userspace that transcludes whatever pages you prefer into one big page, but that is a lot of work. How about this: we create a wizard that automagically creates such a page,
3740:
Comparing Knowledge (XXG) to Google is too simple; Google's homepage has only one use: search. Knowledge (XXG) has many more besides search for an article. We also try to involve new editors. And that simply does require a bit of 'marketing'. Showcasing featured content has also been an established
3192:
We have fallen into a newspaper mentality, where as much as possible needs to be crammed in to the front page. We are not using what makes the world wide web unique: hyperlinks. The page is crowded, complex, and redundant (on the left I see "Current Events". On the right, "In the news". Below that,

It looks crisp, don't get me wrong, but it is just a restyled version of the current design. Are we just trying to achieve a visual update, or are trying to do a content/structure update? Style is nothing without substance. I thought we had identified several important criteria that would add or at
2703:
I feel like that was already done with the RFC, where for a month participants kvetched at length about the current Main Page. While the RFC is not necessarily conclusive, I think it does generally represent the variety of opinions regarding the Main Page. It should be up to individual designers to
2611:
Considering that there's a Knowledge (XXG) search box on every page, a search form entry page is obviously ludicrous. As per NickPenguin's query, I, too, would be interested in a breakdown of where the entry page is byte heavy. 342KB does not strike me as being seriously byte-heavy and, considering
2323:
By issue/proposal seems to be the best option. Select the topics which have come up the most, and add the most pertinent viewpoints. This phase of the RfC was to locate our problems, now we'll be looking towards identifying potential solutions. Already suggested solutions will be another thing that

is added. Having a single open-ended discussion rather than multiple sections will of course mean more work analysing the RFC (but as you said above, "No one promised that this would be easy"). What do you think about having an open ended discussion, followed by a straw poll on the amount of change
840:
I guess I'm not clear on the differences between Phase 1 and Phase 2. I would think that Phase 2 could include brainstorming. I'll say right now that I oppose having "encourage donations to WMF" be an objective of the main page, WMF has many ways to ways money and the main page of this encyclopedia

There wont be a single mockup - any will be able to sumbit and effectively own a mockup - but having a single main alternative should encourage collaboration. Normal editing guidelines will still apply to the draft main page alternative, with disputes taken to the talk page, edit warring banned, no

Actually, I'm interested in an entirely new look for Knowledge (XXG)'s front page. I agree that the current approach is stodgy and inappropriate for 2013. A better main page works on all platforms, is light, and presents information clearly and beautifully. I am interested in working on a proposal
3222:
Make it clean and simple, with subpages to hold all the Wikicruft, and each subpage ("In The News", "On This Day", etc. will be able to communicate far better with an entire page instead of a corner of the main page. It will be far easier for the blind, for users in third-world countries with very

too complex. "Knowledge (XXG)'s sister projects" should be a link. "Knowledge (XXG) languages" should be a link. "In the news" should be a link. "Today's featured article" should be a sentence (less than 10 words) and a link. "On this day" should be a link. That long list of languages on the left?
2880:
In order to to have the main page be able to accomodate many criteria, it will need to be flexible and modular. That way, content and design can be separated. This allows for content and design criteria to be indepedent of eachother. To that end, I have been working "in secret" on a version of the
2102:
Apples and oranges... You can't compare Knowledge (XXG) and Youtube. As a matter of fact, the source of the current main page weighs in at a mere 6.3 KB. The served page is about 63 KB, of which 7 KB is body text. Then there are images, CSS and scripts that are loaded. You can see that even a very

I do have a few. First, I think a major overhaul is the way to go. The current page is seven(!) years old; it's a dinosaur. Second, an RFC could be helpfull, but I also fear that it may lead to red tape. What I would like is to form a workgroup, or committee if you like, that will review all ideas
352:
Without deadlines don't we have the risk that some steps would take long periods of time and editors would also lose interest through this process? Deadlines push the process to move forward. Also, given the large number of possible editors involved, does having so many editors working on a single

Oh, well. Best of luck on that. Does anyone ever feel that IP's should only be allowed to request changes on talk pages? I swear the community would be able to get on with some of these outstanding issues if so much time & energy wasn't focussed on cleaning up after vandals and POV pushers...

My personal proposal (which I suggested numerous times before) is to make the main page more like a newspaper without focusing on news: we have sections on politics, math, science, arts, sports, etc. Just like newspaper site, we can let a relevant Knowledge (XXG) project to manage a section; for

I think you're missing the point of TheOriginalSoni's suggestion (which I consider a good one) - being a list of the changes now intended to be implemented and an opportunity for some feedback on the proposed changes. A lot more than "a hodge-podge implementation of a set of criteria collated by
2687:
Also, for the next phase, do we start listing and discussing the possible solutions we can have to solve the above issues/have the above features? I think that will be a good way to move forward, as those of us looking to design the main page in the next phase will know exactly what is expected.
1417:
I appreciate the more thoughtful and considered approach that people are trying to take here (certainly better than the 2012 competition), but I think that even with a slower pace and more discussion, you have to start by identifying a specific problem (or set of problems) and focus on those. If

I'm not sure I'm following the procedure about having an open ended discussion. Could we have an open ended discussion in the "brainstorming" phase and include the "brainstorming" phase in the RfC, and then have a follow-up straw poll on things that were mentioned in the "brainstorming" phase as
3156:
Your cryptic post is cryptic. Are you saying that the page is too complex as it is? The thing about Apple and Google is that the initial function is simple, but each subsequent function is extremely powerful. I don't know if we can schluff things into subpages, that might detract from the goal.
1386:
and anyone else reading this - I am trying to sort everything into their respective sections so we can have the discussions, but its turning out to be quite a deal of work. If we dont compete this fast enough, this Rfc might be too hard to navigate and/or manage and/or close and it would not be
856:
While phase 2, the RFC, could also include brainstorming and suggestions, phase I is meant to be designing the RFC - ie brainstorming what goes on it, rather than about the individual items, so that the important questions are there, and everything is described clearly, before the RFC opens for
4038:
With my proposed design, no architecture is needed. You can achieve it using only elements found in 1995's HTML 2.0 and using the user's default CSS stylesheet. (I would recommend a minimal stylesheet designed to keep the look consistent across platforms, but the CSS doesn't need to be bloated
3623:
We need a new, clean front page where we respect and honor the reader enough to trust that if she is interested in Knowledge (XXG) articles about current events, she will click on the "In the news" link. Treat the readers like adults who know what they want and not like children who need to be
1237:
As it currently stands, the RfC appears to be a very arbitrary collection of ideas, and is bound to become repetitive, as well as hard to navigate. I wonder if summarising most of it in a points format right now is a good idea so everyone can quickly check which of the points have been already
4413:
What if there was a way that people could add and remove elements, like how Google News lets you? That would certainly catapault the main page into the modern era. We would have a base design (like how it looks now, maybe) but it would allow people to add or remove the content as they choose.
2824:
Oh, please, no flashing or scrolling. That was done to death early in the piece with web development. It really is irritating & distracting rather than "fun" . Bold and all-caps I can take on as being reasonable suggestions, but epileptic fits & motion sickness aren't appealing. Quite
526:
OK, I am willing to support Evad37's version of how this may be workable. I think present conditions may be different than they were in 2006 but I'm still willing to support Evad37's ideas. If this attempt fails then we can try a different method. I am hopeful that this attempt will succeed.
2392:
Given the dwindling number of comments I think its well about time for us to start the next phase of this RfC. We must now be looking for specific points from the users on what needs to be the features for every topic mentioned, and also start voting on those points so we can have a list of
3079:
The discussion was much more lively during the RFC, with dozens of messages per day. Counting DOM elements seems a bit pointless, that only affects rendering speed. As for the number of requests and KBs; I have no control over that, because that is determined by the skin and its associated

about Main Page features, which at a glance has almost the same structure as the current draft proposal. How will this new RFC be different and gain more traction than the last one? Or maybe I should characterize this differently, how can the last RFC be used to improve and focus this RFC?
889:
So perhaps we could consider a more open-ended approach, at least to start out. Simply asking people what they like/dislike about the main page (and in the latter case, how it could be improved) might yield some useful feedback, including ideas that don't cleanly fall into a particular
2080:
Does anyone know how to selectively exclude sections from the table of contents? I want to keep "Proposed Simple Main Page" and "Proposed Simple Main Page Discussion" while nuking "Today's Featured Content", "Other areas of Knowledge (XXG)" and "Knowledge (XXG)'s sister projects".
3667:. They know that, given a choice, you would like to just see the actual content of the page without third-party ads, and you would like to see concise links to other, related content rather than seeing what amounts to another ad, this time promoting that other page on the site. 4020:. I'm still of the opinion that I left near the end of that thread (agreement with the idea of incremental change) - first update the architecture, then update the content/ordering, then (and only then) start investigating aesthetic changes - cross-browser compatibility, and 2019:

I don't care if you hate the styling (not to fond of it myself actually), but that is not a problem; it can be styled independently, it can even have different styles for each section. What I want to show is how simple the main page is built, and how flexible it can be,
728:- I don't propose an RFC at every step, only the beginning, in order to get design criteria for the the community actually wants, and the end, to determine if there is consensus to implement the redesigned main page. However, perhaps we can form a wikiproject (perhaps 3293:

I would be interested in helping out, but its got to be better organised than last year. There's got to be design criteria (for what wikipedians actually want), rather than just asking people to submit mockup proposals where everything and anything can be changed. -

As it turns out, the two are inextricably linked. Design ultimately depends on what content you're trying to present. The question is if there is consensus for a simple, Google-style home page. My own opinion is that Knowledge (XXG)'s home page should at least

Hi Paladox. Its great that you want to improve the main page, however any changes you (or anyone else) propose to make have virtually no chance of being implemented, unless there is widespread support from the community. That is why we are going to have an
