This is already in the works. Robert and me are planning to restructure the 
WIKI frontpage with an screenshot slider information and some vital 
informations. IMHO this is the right location for it, since you reach the WIKI 
frontpage with the "discover" button on the frontpage.

Here you can see a sneek peek of the screenshot slider we are planning:
