The design is terrific, though a bit big, static and graphics intensive. But please hold on techumseh (and everybody), before we continue with this... Oh, and for God's sake, no Flash! 
If indeed we are going to make the SLeague website a Wiki, we do not need a design. Look at the link St Leo posted, and the various Wiki's he referred to in the "Welcome Back!" thread. The only thing we'd need is a logo.
The breakdown into different sections seems OK, though. But I think that's something we have to look into further.
So let's focus on the information architecture now, that is, how the website will be organized rather than what it will look like... I just followed a course on exactly this sort of stuff, so bow before me you ignorant laymen!  ... um, I mean, let's all think of something together.  (nevermind that I probably failed the class)
Here's my suggestion:
- News
- About/Who We Are
- Resources... Guides about creating graphics, scenarios, hex-editing, review guidelines and what not. I think we don't really need the SL Magazine anymore, if we get this right. The Magazine can instead become a set of "featured" articles on the front page. We can use the forum to encourage people to submit new stuff.
- Files... Graphics, utilities etc. and obviously scenarios. Rather than having a separate reviews section, it could be a subsection of this. Each file has a description and links to all its reviews.
- Contests
- Forum
- Links

Harry, I had planned a news section, and will add one just as soon as I figure out how to add pics/links horizontally. (As I said, my skills at HTML are minimal)
I'm going to reduce the size of the list and push it up and to the left, to leave more room for news and other features. I'll tone down the map border and reduce it's width, esp. on top, bottom and left. Dave, Gettysburg because I've always thought the contemporary maps of the battle were very cool.
Resources will lead to 3 pages as currently envisioned: Tips, Graphics, and Sounds. Tips to include the existing SL tips, with links to the Cradle of Civilization guides and Catfish's site. Graphics leads to units, terrain and Cities/icons/people. Units further subdivides into the categories decided on the 'Welcome Back' thread, and will be sorted by artist. My idea (let me know if it's good or bad) is that the better work will be regularly lifted from the topped threads and added to the site. We'd need an editor of graphics to do this.
Downloads will lead to Scenarios and Utilities/patches. How would people like to sort the scenarios? We might do it by author rather than by period. Also, I was thinking that we could divide them into those being playtested and those that are finished. y/n?
The rest is pretty straightforward. Raid a few of the more recent reviews, put the new contest stuff up directly and add links to the old ones, upload the old SL files and hope Curt and his posse produce new issues  , link to these forums and add links to all the main resource sites around, including the present SL site.
Leo, I'm unfamiliar with wiki, and would need a tutorial. How would you work it into the site? What other features would people like incorporated into the site?
Finally, I need some help producing this site with someone who has better HTML skills than me. I can help with design, but I'm not the guy to produce the final product. Volunteers?

I'd fit it on one screen, though. How will it integrate with the current page? Will 'resources' include some kind of wiki work?
