Yeah I guess we need something, even though we lose the purity of Moiz's mockups.

... and hundreds of Wikimedia open source projects you can contribute to

Do you mean this to link to something like T90381: Use list of Wikimedia software projects (krinkle.github.io/#wikimedia )? that feels out of scope of "access our data sets and experiment with our APIs" Or is this the link upward to the umbrella "How to contribute"?

The "Web API" tag on How to contribute (which will link to the Data and developer hub) has similar introductory needs.

@MSyed's mockups need iterations, just like any mockups. I think we can agree that it is difficult to shop without knowing what is on offer.

The six items proposed in the description (do you agree with them?) could be represented with six big icons with a simple description, without any need of having lengthy explanations.

"hundreds of Wikimedia open source projects you can contribute to" can simply link to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute, channeling all the developers interested in the OSS aspect as opposed to the API / data aspect.

I folded it in to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Data_and_developer_hub?oldid=1495699 . APIs are how you do all of this except (in my undestanding) datasets and dumps, so I moved them around but kept all those aspects.

The message is good for now, thank you. I took the liberty of editing the text a bit to spicy it up.

Perhaps we will reformat it a bit more if/when we introduce more design in the homepage, but this is food for T305.
