I wonder if it'd be better to have a major edit checkbox than a minor one, on that point. That said, them being difficult to implement, and the task of getting people to actually use a minor edit marking button for quick edits (it'd get rather tedious after a while, no?) lead me to think the last 5/10 updates on the front page in addition to a version of the current categorized-out New Stuff section would be quite enough (I'd suggest filtering dictionary entries from the overall last 5/10 update list, just so mass-uploads don't flood it constantly).
