So - Here are some ideas/suggestions for the EG redesign. Some are original to me, some have come up from other members over the years, sometimes repeatedly.
Random Article window or button on main EG screen
Replace EG main page buttons with image+text thumbs (images can be changed by the Editors when desired)
Article TOCs - either like Wikipedia (collapsible - displays in center of screen) or Britannica (on left side of screen)
Thumbnail/pop-up in-text links if possible
Make picture boxes mini-galleries able to display multiple images
Add ‘internal text boxes’ possibly able to cycle through multiple sub-articles
Table/database embedding (Glossary terms, portions of the timeline, etc.)
Links that jump to a specific location on a page rather than just to the top of the page
Possibly have in text hyperlinks open in a new tab or window rather than jumping to the new page
Just some thoughts,
Todd
