WikiProject Industrial design and Design Portal
Cher Arnaud de Suisse, j'ai récemment écrit ce texte et je compterais sur votre appui à ce propos :

WikiProject Industrial design is a Wikipedian community that aims to better organize information in articles related to Industrial design (also called Product design). Right now, this topic is not well covered, being squeezed in between its Visual Arts and its Technology roots.
 * If I'm cor-rec-to, there are about 1850 articles on Industrial design in Wikipedia...
 * At least, it's more than for Typography, and there IS a Typography WikiProject...
 * And it's more than the Fashion WikiProject with 482 articles...
 * There is a Graphic design project...
 * There is also an Urban studies and planning project and a Video games portal so...
 * Now you can also see a proposal for the Design Portal. (that portal would be for Industrial design AND Graphic design/Interior design)
 * Note: Rationale for having a portal about Design (at large):
 * There once was a sketch for an Industrial Design portal: over a 3-year period, it was not brought up to speed;
 * On the other hand, there is a fully-operational Visual arts portal: but it does not cater especially to the Design topic;
 * There is no Graphic design portal (although there is a Typography portal);
 * There are thousands of Wikipedia articles related to the topic of Design;
 * The conclusion of all of these facts is that having a separate Design portal is needed.
