I really do hate to dredge up such an old thread, but is there any more motion planned for the front page? I notice that very little of what was originally suggested appears to have been done.

There seems to be an awful lot of unnecessary information on the front page that could be condensed, and a few bits of janitorial cleanup that could be useful.

The Data Core logo looks... not so great on the front page. Do we not have a higher-res version of it?

For the series links, we have a randomizer for all four, but would it be terrible to also include a "most recent" link for Doctor Who? Torchwood and K-9 are on extended hiatuses (hiati?), and Sarah Jane Adventures has ended, so only Doctor Who would really need a link like that.

For Audiobooks, Books, and Comics, the images look strange without some sort of table-like layout (an invisible one would look fine, but "loose", it looks messy), and the lists below are somewhat dense.

Are the New Series Adventures going to continue, do we know? There hasn't been a new one since December, supposedly. And the SJA Audio Series ended in 2011. And Doctor Who at the BBC in 2010. Should we be showing inactive series at all, or simply list all audio series on an Audiobooks page?

We have a lot of outdated information that hasn't been relevant in upwards of three years or more; we even have listings of defunct book lines on the front page.

We compared our goal for the front page to things like Stargate Wiki and Family Guy Wiki, but I think we still have a lot of work ahead of us. If we can reduce the vertical sprawl of the page, we can move some of our right sidebar into the main content area (the X of the Minute areas are rather difficult to read at six words per line).
