Yeah, we need designers... desperately ;)

That's nice! How about using a bigger openSUSE logo? And maybe adding some 
stats on each wiki (like "1000+ pages") below each language, using smaller 
letters of course.

We could also try to place a direct link to download.openSUSE.org on the 
splash / portal page, to always highlight the latests version and get 
people to download openSUSE!

But adding a seach box to it is much more important IMO :)
