Perhaps the solution to this little detail is that the Esperanto homepage needs to be internationalized in some way?
I think we should change the language names to their names in their own language. This might help.
Can you give us more detail of exactly what you are proposing?
I propose the page that has a paragraph in English and then the list of languages in a table.
Do you propose removing the "tree" and "Selected articles" from www.wikipedia.org? Where should we put them?
I don't really understand what you mean here. Could you clarify?
Do you propose having the intro text, 2 sentences, in a whole bunch of languages?
Just the intro text in English and then links to each language underneath. I saw this in one of the proposals.
Do you propose browser-detection? (Problematic for a number of reasons that many people have mentioned, but certainly a live possibility.)
No, no, no. For one thing, that will have almost no effect for Esperanto speakers. I don't even know how to change my own browser to eo, even if I wanted to, and anyway I'd rather keep it in English even though I'm more involved with the Esperanto project. The least that auto-detect could do is highlight my language on the main page.
I'm sorry I can't give a more detailed description, but this weekend is composed of day long committee meetings, so I really don't have time... but there's always a little time for Wikipedia. :) (Hey, new slogan anyone?) ;-)
Thanks, Chuck
