    A long and learned treatise on what's wrong wiki Wikipedia's layout, replete with a half-dozen layout renderings explaining how it would look better and make more sense. Lovely renderings of both tablet and phone designs as well. Lovely stuff! Then, the kicker

    we greatly look forward to see how Wikipedia will develop in the following years, in regards to making the site more pleasant to read.

    So, write up a blog post on how to do it better, but don't contribute one line of code (or one penny in donations) to help make it that way.

      So true. Everyone uses Wikipedia. Hardly anyone helps it out.

      I don't see this as a critic to the current Wikipedia design, I see it as a comment on how typography and grid use could affect the aspect of a website, in this case Wikipedia. And it is true that the design isn't the best right now, the code for the website is developed by users, just like the articles and everything else, that explains why the website hasn't change much along the years.
