Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Prototype testing

Over the next two years we will be working on main>Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements|improvements to our desktop site. Many of the proposed improvements are based on existing gadgets and userscripts, user research, and the feedback we received from editors during Wikimania and afterwards. Linked below is a prototype of the first few features we would like to implement.

We would appreciate any thoughts or feedback you have regarding these proposed changes. Any and all comments are appreciated! For more context on the design please read the wikimania>Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Wikimania Stockholm research report|Wikimania Stockholm research report.

Preview of feedback questions

 * 1) Take a minute to look around.  What are some of your initial impressions? Do you find anything confusing? Convenient? Particularly interesting? (Keep in mind that since this is a prototype some of the links might not work, and there might be other bugs or quirks that you’ll come across.)
 * (your feedback here)
 * 1) Imagine you wanted to switch the article to another language. Can you figure out how to do so? What do you think of this experience?
