Maybe we should discuss if the usability is more important than
multilinguism (It's not!) in Wikimedia Projects.

If one wants to talk about usability, it's
important to keep track the
most impaired users, because they have more urgent needs. (Yeah,
people with little English skills are actually in a disadvantageous
position on wiki-en: there are few multilingual clues at the first
spot, and then the "see in the language I prefer" section is now
behind an unnecessary "Languages")
BTW, I liked that "universal signs" idea of some poster I lost track
here. I just think it doesn't really apply to the language list (that
How it doesn't apply?
See the examples:
http://languageicon.org/examples.php
should be fully expanded), but rather to
"Discussion", "Edit", etc
There is an uviversal edit button:
http://universaleditbutton.org/
The language icon was inspired by those icons:
Feed icon:
http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/feed-icon-guidelines/
Share icon:
www.openshareicons.com/
Geotag icon:
http://www.geotagicons.com/
OPML icon:
http://opmlicons.com/
I think it's a good idea to use an icon for language.
