Hi!
The idea is that we can implement some revolutionary
ideas for our
portal page, things that are completely different than what the current
portal page looks like, and deploy it on this site for real users to
use. But without imposing a disruptive user experience to our users. We
can put a link to this page on the production portal page (in the
bottom?), and users can have an option to bookmark the page, and maybe
make one of the experiments their default.
This looks pretty cool, though I think we need some explanation why
these pages are shown.
Also, if you look at it, number 4 is porn site. Which is I guess
accurate according to data, but this would produce several problems -
starting from obvious appropriateness and PR issues, and to the problem
of what happens when companies (even much less controversial than porn
sites) learn that they can be easily featured on the front page of
Wikipedia. So we may want to be careful there.
Also,
https://people.wikimedia.org/~jgirault/react-top10-languages/ is
buggy for me: for Hebrew, it shows the name as: <bdi
dir="rtl">עברית</bdi> (yes, with HTML tags visible).
