Is the front page a wiki page?

By the looks of it, yes. If you go to 'Edit this page', you can see that it's made out of wikimedia templates. But that's just a guess.

I meant, in the redesign, is the intent to make the front page a wiki page, or a special static page?

I think the goal is an attractive non-wiki page with live content.

Right -- ideally the index page would be written separately from the Wiki but maybe use its libraries or at least in some way access the wiki database so that the index page can be manipulated through the wiki. Each section is kind of modular anyway. I'm trying out the 1.5 version I got from the mediawiki svn now. A copy of the database sans users would be nice. How big is it? I can construct my own example db but it's nice to work with the real thing.
