If there's consensus that we want a mascot, I
suggest putting a call for
suggestions on all the mainpages, with a link to an English page on Meta.
That might seem like overkill, but I really think we should use the wiki
process here. There are many species -- prehistoric animals, insects,
animals living only in a single, small world region -- which are largely
unknown, yet unbelievably photogenic. I also think that any mascot we
choose should reflect the fact that we are a cooperative, social project,
in other words, it should be a social animal or insect. Dolphins, whales,
ants, bees etc. all work nicely.
A meerkat? They rank with penguins for cuteness factor and have that look
of curiosity.
