Statistics are important, as they let us know where to focus efforts to improve wiki and distribution.

Main Page (855,498 views) Lead in number of views, but having it as a home page in the browser can create bigger numbers views then actual number of visitors.
We don't have it as home page in the browser. We have the landing page www.o.o as homepage.
Never changing page is not the best presentation of wiki and distribution. It doesn't show dynamic of the project which is lately increased few times.
Items that never change are used in regular propaganda to bring boredom and force people to migrate elsewhere. The other extreme is too high dynamic of changes that force people to learn basic navigation on every visit and push them to the sites with some predictable elements.
I'm fine with some changes that introduce dynamic content as long as we don't misuse the wiki fronpage as landing page again. We did that with the old wiki and it got very overloaded.
I don't know what is absolutely the best, but we can try to have: Left: as is, static list of links - learn once and use many times Center top: very short intro to the project (not necessarily exactly what it is, but catchy few words. Center: news; one to two lines with links to actual articles, images (quality)
News about what?
Right: fast access to the most popular articles which is changing slowly over the time
We could use the portal layout on the frontpage. That would make sense. [...]
How people make to this page would be interesting [...]
