Yes, please repeat your solution.
I just looked over all your posts at intlwiki-l
(since 17.9.2002 - 34 messages) and didn't find
anything on this topic.

In what way is the actual page at http://www.wikipedia.org
not a "static page full of links"?
(In this case only links into the english wikipedia
 and to the front pages of the other 'pedias.)
