"The foundation also invested $890,000 in a new design for the site ..." Yow! I'm sure that's wrong/misleading in some way, but what does this figure actually include?
- rufo 17y agoI'm guessing some of that is wrapped up in here - they seem to be doing much more than just a simple redesign: http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page EDIT: Just noticed you can actually turn on their improvements by clicking the "Try Beta" link in the upper-right corner of the page. Seems really nice, actually.
- mjs 17y agoWell, that page says "The Wikipedia Usability Initiative is realized by a grant from the U.S.-based Stanton Foundation." So I'm not entirely sure if this explains it. (Nearly a million dollars seems a lot of money for a redesign + usability study, as well.)
