-First, some of the text is inaccurate. There are not "chapters of the Wikimedia Foundation"; these are entirely separate entitites. The "Content" section linked to doesn't address how to change content, only reuse; the address for talking to people ''about'' content is actually in the first section, which was listed as "Contact the nonprofit that operates the Wikimedia reference projects" To fix this, we'd either have to change the descriptions of both that section and the first section, or move down the 'info" address to the "Reuse" section, retooling it appropriately. I'm not sure it's a good idea to push down the info@ address, since it is most frequently the one people need.

-While I think it was a very eye popping image, I also think it may have some implementation challenges. It takes up an awful lot of real estate. The chapter listing is rather large and is squeezed to the side by unneeded empty space. :) --[[User:Mdennis|Maggie Dennis]] ([[User talk:Mdennis|talk]]) 19:38, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

-: Text tweaks are easy enough to implement. I agree that it'd probably be better if the navigation to the sections were horizontal, rather than vertical. That would address the squeezing issue. It'd also be nice if the chapter blocks of text were dynamic, putting three per row if there's room, two per row if there's less room, one per row on a mobile platform, etc. This is kind of what [[Staff]] does currently. I think it works well. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 21:25, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
-: P.S. I'm renaming this section from "Box" to "September 2012 redesign" as I think it's more fitting.
-::I agree with Mdennis on all points. I also think that the <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki> is the best tool we have for that purpose. The page is short and making people understand what are the right contacts for the different things is the very purpose of the page, not of an index. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 05:18, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
