The Enciclopedia libre at http://enciclopedia.us.es/ is much larger and more active than the Spanish Wikipedia at http://es.wikipedia.com/
I think we should junk our Spanish Wikipedia, provide a link to their site on our main page (they probably don't like to be called Wikipedia, so we could simply say "non-English sister projects") and have our interwiki links point to them rather then to the Spanish Wikipedia.
And if we ask nicely, we may even get a link back to wikipedia.com.
P.S. I would assume that over time, other international Wikpedias will prefer to operate out of their own countries, to improve connection speeds and gain more contol, and I don't see anything wrong with that.
This may very well become standard procedure for all languages, but it would make more sense to discuss this issue in general terms rather than doing it separately for each language. Perhaps some kind of co-operation agreements might be the way to go.
