hello, found some time to compose some thoughts on the issues at hand.

funnily enough, one of the ideas floated around in email is an emphasis on more rectangular items and less circular ones like what's currently in the front page. slideshows were suggested, although the other ideas are welcome.

the DAwiki front page is certainly slick and worth emulating. looks legit -and- modern. i won't mind a few extra clicks if the contents box is compressed into a more aesthetic form without losing navigation integrity. if i'd change something i'd rather put a recent activity box there like in the civ wiki than, say, the forums (keep people focused on what the site is). i'm also keeping the featured articles box, strange the DAwiki dispensed of it.

although we used tabs on article pages, i don't think the civ motif is what we're aiming for. must be the rounded edges - not a fan.

the MEwiki's helping out section can be removed entirely if need be, we can simply copy it back on community messages and elsewhere.

aaand that's all i can think of for now
