My suggestion is to use the language names as they are
representative of languages. Or in other words, languages do not
have any sensible representative images, so I would not use any.<br>

<div>Here is my idea of what the docs homepage could
look like, in two variations.<br>

<div>Hi Team,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We had the meeting yesterday which Sean,
Bernardo, Stephen, and I attended, where we
discussed our plans to improve the documentation.
Various meeting minutes were put into the main
google doc[1] and we plan to meet once a week to
discuss things to keep the pace of work going
forward. Each week we'll be working on a single
docs page/chapter, in a google doc I prepare, so
that we all have a central place to collaborate on
its improvement, and can also reach out to the
community to contribute to. At each meeting we'll
review the page's edits and finalize it and then
it will be copied over to the git repo.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sean will be investigating various options to
make it easier for contributors to help keep the
docs up to date. A telegram group[2] has been
created for those that want to be involved and we
can bridge it with a #xubuntu-docs irc channel if
there are those wanting it.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So for this week, we'll be improving the main
documentation homepage[3] in this google doc[4].
During the meeting we agreed upon these changes</div>
<div>* As this page is not translated, the useful
parts of the contents of this page will move to
the Table of Contents (ToC) page, so that it can
be translated.</div>
<div>* The page would become just a language
selector which leads to the translated ToC page.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>People can suggest ideas of how this language
selector page can look in the google doc[4] or on
the mailing list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div>Yousuf<br>
