This page seriously needs to be spruced up...

I moved the old main page to Getting Started. Set up an initial draft for the new main page. The idea was to present information to the reader right away. Readers who frequent the wiki will not want to see a greeting every time, but instead get some news perhaps. The items under "Recent Events" should really be links to articles about the events. Once the events become old news they could be moved to the History page. Any thoughts?--PhantomSnake 19:17, 28 Jul 2005 (EDT)

I don't know...

I'd rather not have a news section. There are plenty of other sites for that. I'd actually be more tempted to have a portion of the Recent Changes page on the main page. --Zaventh 19:34, 28 Jul 2005 (EDT)

How about this?

Ok, so news is not a priority. I removed the "Recent Events" section and replaced it with a "Random articles that we need" section. It might help kick-start things. What else could we put on the main page? There is plenty of space yet, especially if we use tables.--PhantomSnake 20:51, 28 Jul 2005 (EDT)
