We haven't decided yet exactly what to make the new
www.wikipedia.org
project front page look like, but it seems pretty well decided that we
do want to move the English wiki to
en.wikipedia.org and set up some
sort of multilingual and/or browser-language-setting-sensitive intro page.
(See:
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_to_do_with_www.wikipedia.org )
If there's no objection, I'm going to switch the URL redirecting around
tomorrow, so that
www.wikipedia.org/* points to
en.wikipedia.org/*
rather than the other way 'round. A new intro page can later be set up
at convenience.
Warning: login cookies won't automatically follow over, so everyone
using the English wiki will have to log in afresh after the switch even
if you've got "remember my password" checked.
