3. This kind of page promotes the view that Wikipedia
is a coalition of
largely distinct projects, balkanized by language (and implicitly branded by
nationality). I think this is very much the wrong approach.
OTC, this is what the current system does.
An international <www.*> is primarily being advanced
to fix precisely this problem.
Just because something can be done without coding
doesn't mean it's a good
idea.
Actually, it *can't* be done without coding.
Specifically, elian's suggestion can't be done without coding,
which is why mav is right to say that we need to get
an integrated Phase IV software (PediaWiki 4.0),
allowing integrated Recentchanges, integrated searches, etc.
