"Wikipedia is edging closer to a redesign. Nako Komura, head of the user experience team for the Wikimedia Foundation, detailed some of these changes on the foundation's blog and in the Wikimedia Technical Blog. \nThe new default design will start to roll out the week of April 5 on the Wikimedia Commons, the media repository used by Wikipedia.The new default theme, known as Vector, is designed to be more usable and to make editing less disarming. Navigation has been streamlined as well. You can check out the images below to get a sneak peek at what has changed or see it for yourself by visiting the Wikipedia Usability Initiative page.\n\n\nOld Wikipedia Design\n\n\n\nNew Wikipedia Design\n\nThe new design is the culmination of usability work that started in January of 2009 and is just the first step in what is still a continuing process. Wikimedia says that a second release will be pushed out later in the year.\nAll Wikipedia languages will get the new look, with other Wikimedia projects to follow.\nThe new interface, while still not exactly modern in terms of design, at least finally looks like it was developed in this century. From a usability standpoint, it's too soon to really tell the improvements are, as the final tweaks aren't in place, but it does appear to be a good start.\nWhat do you think of the new look for Wikipedia? Let us know!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
