- SwellJoe 14y agoThis. Show me the code, or at least a github with the beginnings of making these ideas a reality, or you're wasting my time with mental masturbation. Until you can actually test these dramatic changes with real users and show that these changes can be achieved in a usable way, it's the height of designer hubris to trot this out as a major improvement to one of the world's most popular sites. Say whatever you will of WikiPedia, the reality is that 99.9% of designers will never build anything as useful to so many people in their entire career. That is a design success. So, while these "redesign famous site" projects are fun, I guess, and probably great practice and thinking exercises for the designers, I don't think the folks behind a site like Wikipedia ought to drop everything and follow their advice. Wikipedia has billions of pages to serve, and millions of people to educate.

- EternalFury 14y agoAh, then they have no idea if what they are describing is even remotely possible given the constraints imposed by Wikimedia. Making a theme/skin for Wikimedia is quite a task, actually.
