That out of the way, let me suggest that changing URLs should only be a minor component of dealing with 3, not a primary focus.
I agree.
More effort should be put into building the cross-link capabilities, perhaps with some automatic dictionary translations.
I think automatic dictionary translations would be a big mess. I am continually reminded of the shortcomings of dictionary translations here in South Korea. Human-made links are by far superior to any automatic translation of words.
The wikipedias should all be running the same software.
Absolutely. As soon as the other language projects start running the Phase III software, they can start linking to each other and the English 'pedia.
There should be the option of having Recent Changes show changes from any array of the languages, so that for a French contributor fluent in English, his Recent Changes (and thus his Wikipedia, to a large degree) looks like a French-English Wikipedia.
The only problem with this suggesting is that the English Wikipedia's Recent Changes is huge when it should each and every change, rather than combining changes made on the same article. Adding the French one to that would make it useless.
