Reviving this thread to get everyone's suggestions.

To get the project started and running, I mapped out the layout. The Cal Poly wiki's layout will be very similar to the Wikipedia's frontpage: left column with the navigation, main categories and portals on the top column, featured and new articles on the center, and a Picture of the Day/Week below.

The frontpage layout will be critical. And keep in mind that both the Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo articles will be edited and created. We need to make a clear distinction of which article relates to which university.

We can presume that the wikipedia users are intermediate or advanced users of the internet and information technology so the usual visitors will be familiar with the Wikipedia layout and format.

I'm still learning how to use the MediaWiki software and I would appreciate if anyone with some experience with the wiki software can assist in this project. I will keep you guys posted with the progress.
