EG Redesign - Ideas and Suggestions?

[inkoalawetrust]

Has there been any progress on this since last year? Also personally I think the site should still look like it's from the 2000s because I feel like it's part of the general style and vibe, makes it stand out while still somewhat staying to its' roots of when OA started, and most importantly, I just think it looks cooler, especially compared to today's awful flat minimalist designs. But of course I'm also biased since I for use a 2000s skeuomorphic-ish theme on my Discord, and think the best UI Windows ever had was between Windows Longhorn and Windows 7.

Edit: Just read this last page too and noticed a lot of mentions of a wiki format. I do think it'd be best for editors if that happened, since a software like MediaWiki has advantages like being maintained by others already , being far more up to date, and having pre-existing documentation on how to do things. The "only" issues I can see are that, of course, it'll probably be very hard to convert the EG into using MediaWiki or any other software (Plus future MediaWiki updates potentially breaking EG-specific setups like custom templates and a custom UI), and also to a lesser extent, just how hard it would be to jigsaw MediaWiki's user-end UI to have a more unique look like the current EG design, or its' past iterations. Since from what MediaWiki instances I've seen, they really don't stray from the base UI layout much at all, and often don't even have very unique skins either. And IMO it'd be a bit of an un-feature to have the EG look like a dime a dozen MediaWiki instance. But this is mainly for editors having an easier time than the I presume ancient byzantine system currently in place (Plus pre-existing wiki software already has features like templates). For users the current wiki is kinda fine IMO, certainly nothing that couldn't be updated instead, such as the search function crapping out if you try going back to it; that doesn't need using MediaWiki or any other software.
