Thank you for having done this - I was so down under with work these 
days that I really was not able to care about this. Anyway: just today 
on the Napulitano mailing list, where we talk about Neapolitan, the 
wikipedia etc. I received the question by a list member that is not even 
among the supporters (at least as much as I know - if he hides behind 
one of the names I don't know well, that's another thingie).

So yes, we very much want it - I have the first part of terms in 
Neapolitan for the UI.

So I hope that is is going to be created soon, since all of us can then 
start to contribute - and even if everyone of us makes just one edit a 
day we will reach our goal :-) normally people get addicted and so one 
edit a day is really just an example :-)

Well, installing a wiki is not soooo difficult - and I would say that it 
makes more sense to install some wikis at a time instead of doing one at 
a time. I suppose it is easier for them to do it in one rush instead of 
creating one new wiki at a time and that they are waiting to reach a 
certain number. Really I don't know.

Unfortunately I myself don't have the time to do that - otherwise I'd 
just say: give me the access data and show me one time what needs to be 
changed manually in the configuration and I just install them - but 
maybe we can find a helping hand that just cares about such things? - 
Really I don't even know if that is possible ... just take someone, 
teach how to do things and let them do ... this is something to be asked 
for.

Thanks again for asking for Neapolitan :-)

Ciao, Sabine
