First off, Ian you've have done fantastic work on this. Road building is vital to development - and your roads are safe, well marked and take us to the places we want to discover. Well done.
Second, I agree with Paul about hiding things until people are interested. When I have decided that I want more information on a particular part of speech, I will click on the link to find out about it. Putting the rank information on the individual pages also opens up opportunities for showing how the ranks can be a little more involved for some parts of speech e.g. the Cut conjunction (rank: _ 1/2 _). I think I would be inclined to follow the lead of the original vocabulary and put the ranks on the information pages of the individual parts of speech and leave them off the front page. Also, when you mentioned keeping you up to date on additions, I did recently build an svg animation that the wiki will display in place. They take a while to do, so I am not promising to match your prodigious NuVoc output, but if there are particular areas that would benefit from visuals, I could work those 'hotspots' for you. You can see it here at the bottom of the page. (Click on the red dot) http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/plus/Animations This works for Safari and Chrome browsers, untested on others.
