We could extend that idea by having separate databases/software installations only between different Wikimedia projects (which should all have their own domain names anyway). Subprojects/language versions within the same Wikimedia project would all be in the same database; each wiki page would need a language/subproject tag - or table thingy - and those wiki pages would be in their own directories (again the directories would be named after the appropriate language code). Side note: IMO, "MediaWiki" would be a good name for our officially nameless software. "PediaWiki" never worked for me since the software is used in at least several non-encyclopedia contexts and will likely be used by many more in the next several years. But all that is less important than optimizing the current code. Hm. The last thing we need is a porn site at wikibooks.org so since everybody is referring to Wikibook as Wikibooks I went ahead and bought wikibooks.org/.com too. And while I was at it I went ahead and purchased WikimediaFoundation.org/.com as well. All these domain names will be donated to Wikimedia as soon as it is able to accept a legal transfer of ownership. It will be up to the Foundation to decide what to do with all these domain names and whether or not it makes sense to renew them (if so then I'll probably help to finance that too but I'm sure I won't be the only one). But for now they are safe from cyber squatters for at least the next year (I'm still mad at myself for not purchasing wikimedia.com before a squatter got it). -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav)
