Goals:

  1. present a single article in a clear way to a reader looking to find some specific information
  2. draw readers in to the community
  3. offer a usable and efficient (separate) editor interface

Non-goals:

  • offer many ways to spend time checking out the site
  • make the default layout a power-editor layout

The main content is the article. Meta-content is refs, links, TOCs, infoboxes and other data, and part-of-a-series boxes. Chrome is the sidebar, header, footer, and sizing.
