Have you considered an audit process for the
sitenotices, banners, etc. on
the various projects to ensure they are being displayed properly? Some folks
will recall last year's issue with ru.wikibooks, for instance, where the
drive notices were hidden by the local administrator. I don't expect that
level of disaffection on many projects, but its possible that administrators
on some may not understand their responsibilities and expectations with
regard to the drive.
What we're currently planning is this:
- Tomasz is working on a translation tool for the sitenotice that also
shows a preview of the banner with the translated text. If this works,
it will make it easier to detect obvious issues such as strings not
fitting.
- In addition, we'll interface with the community as needed to deal
with issues around site stylesheets & JavaScript. I'm sure there will
be some, and we'll try to sort these out to some extent preemptively,
to some extent as they come to our attention.
