Gareth & cunc. I thought we had agreed on some basics:
* that the Spanish Fork is a bad thing
* that we'd like them to come back
* that the other non-English wikipedias often feel ignored & sidelined.
Your last post seems to backtrack on the above.
Yes, compared to including them in software & policy debate, changing
the URLs is a minor point. If we did *only* that, it would indeed be a sop.

Like mav said, it's *symbolic*. it's not the solution, but it's part of it.

that it is a meaningless sop to people who (IMHO) don't have a legitimate
grievance in the first place.
