Yep, I think that's pretty much the only main page section on any wiki (Some I'm not sure are practical here) ~ dkpat 03:14, 28 December 2010 (CST)
 * The welcome, directory, news, trivia, NIWA, what you can do, About Us, and perhaps Poll should be enough. I don't know about things like Featured Article/Image, because that feels like it would require too much work and attention to maintain to be worth it.

 * Surely Featured Article isn't that big of a hassle. We don't have to do it the way other wikis do. Personally, I think we could have directory, about us, polls, trivia, welcome, news, featured article, and affiliates/niwa (do we have any other affiliates?) ~ dkpat 12:51, 28 December 2010 (CST)
 * Well okay on the Featured Article thing. NIWA is the first group GSU ever affiliated itself with, though. Erik the Appreciator 13:03, 28 December 2010 (CST)
 * Soo.. Welcome, News, About Us, Featured Article, NIWA/Affliates (in case of future affiliations), Trivia, Directory. (not positive if polls would work well, I'll check with greg and the forums thing) That makes... 7 Sections. (possibly 8). For those sections.. I say we make them templates. That will save on organization on the main page, and make them less likely to be changed/easier to update without messing up the rest of the page. ~ dkpat 13:25, 28 December 2010 (CST)

Layouts
Since the actual layout of the page is another major player, here we go. ~ dkpat 15:33, 28 December 2010 (CST)
