Hello,
Mmost arguments in favor or against different solutions seem to have been presented now, but I must say I lost track who wants what. Furthermore it's a useless waste of energy to work on different solutions without knowing which is wanted.
So I invite people to give their vote..
www.wikipedia.org should:
[] not be changed at all.
[] redirect depending on the browser's language setting to the wikipedia in the prefered language.
[] be a multilingual portal (1)
[] other ______
(1) draft to be further improved at http://mitglied.lycos.de/manske/wiki/test.php with language of the welcome message derived from the browser settings and prefered language highlighted.
this message is crossposted to intlwiki-l and wikipedia-l and to metawikipedia [[What to do with www.wikipedia.org]]
greetings, elian
