Would a "prototype wiki" be a good
place to make it possible for
Portuguese
community to test the Language Conversion in
practice?
Sounds good to me personally, although I'll ask some other people to
weigh in. I personally like the idea of a world where the standard
response to "hey we wanna play with this thing and it's all coded up
already" is "sure, lemme set you up with a prototype wiki".
We are considering[1][2] the possibility of using
the system to handle
regional differences in the written Portuguese, but it seems that the
editors need more contact with the system before they can decide in
favour
or agains an efective use of the conversion
system at pt.wikipedia.
We have made some drafts of the PHP code[3] which is needed to start, and
set of possible global conversion rules for some variants[4].
What should we do to have a prototype wiki for this, if that is possible?
You should start with getting your code in SVN. If it is or can be
written in a way that makes it easy to disable (or if there's some
other caveat such as it not doing anything if the conversion tables
are empty), it can be committed straight to trunk. If this is not
possible, it can be put in a branch, but trunk would really be
preferred here, and disableability should be relatively easy to
accomplish.
Then when it's agreed that this should go on a prototype wiki, Ryan or
I will set up the wiki and configure it, and it'll be all yours.

It seems to be sufficient to add set *$wgDisableLangConversion = true;* for
Portuguese wikis while testing at a prototype wiki (there it would have it's
default value [*=false]*). Would that be possible?
There is also an open bug related to this variable:
