Considering that most of the work of the Wikimedia movement is done by volunteers, it would be good to state this fact more explicitly at the home. There is a [[Volunteer_opportunities|Volunteering]] link in the side bar and that's it. We probably don't need yet another block in the cluttered homepage, but I would expect short references in the mentions about "help" and "support". Currently they refer only to donations and job offers, when in fact the most basic way to help has always been to volunteer with your time and skills.--[[User:Qgil|Qgil]] ([[User talk:Qgil|talk]]) 19:00, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Purpose of this page

Hi. I've posted here about the purpose of this page. --MZMcBride (talk) 00:18, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think any of those goals for the main page is fine, so long as someone who cares about design feels ownership of the page and takes an interest in its large-form structure. And revisits the design from time to time. (If there's noone who feels that way, then allowing some random walks through design space is better than stagnation.)

References to volunteers and volunteering

Considering that most of the work of the Wikimedia movement is done by volunteers, it would be good to state this fact more explicitly at the home. There is a Volunteering link in the side bar and that's it. We probably don't need yet another block in the cluttered homepage, but I would expect short references in the mentions about "help" and "support". Currently they refer only to donations and job offers, when in fact the most basic way to help has always been to volunteer with your time and skills.--Qgil (talk) 19:00, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
