bothers to look for regularly. The version I proposed stimulates
competition.
I'm not sure why you use the word "competition" here.
It seems to me that having a central page to look at each language
will promote cooperation rather than competition.
And furthermore, I think that that's exactly what *should* be promoted.
So you seem to use the wrong word, but replace it with "cooperation"
and the argument is exactly right.
