Reasons behind the changes

• Navigation box -- repurposed as a reader-oriented set of browsing links
  • Featured articles replaced by Featured content
  • Portals and Categories links added
• Interact box -- created, to seperate the non-encyclopedic sidebar links
  • Questions link added
  • changed "Donations" link target from WikiMedia:Fundraising#Donation methods to WikiMedia:Fundraising. (allowing people to read a bit about why and how to make a donation, before being confronted with credit card details.)
• Toolbox --
  • separated the contextual/local links (top) from the fixed/global links (bottom)
  • moved the Recent changes link to here, from the navigation box, as contextually appropriate.
  • reorganised to place "Cite this article" and other reader-oriented links at the top. (a straight reversal of current ordering)

There are a number of links that could have been included, but were left out of this redesign draft for various reasons. Primarily, to keep the initial redesign simple, and agreeable-to by all, but also because many of them are not currently at a suitably high-standard. We envision some/many of them being added at a future time (it's easier to add links later, than to re-argue them at each draft stage).
