I'd like to propose a new Wikipedia: "the multilingual wikipedia"
Some ideas about how to do that are on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Multilingual_communication
I would be very interested in getting the multilingual features of oddmuse (the colored background, the language filters) ported to Mediawiki and then start working on two things:
A) Elaborate the engine to make it work for multilingual pages: language filters also in the edit mode, inclusion of automatic pretranslation in a new translate-mode, etc. B) Start making the "multilingual wikipedia". Kinda getting people into the fun of translation.
Hopefully this wouldn't require a fork of Mediawiki. Unfortunately I have a vage feeling that it does. In that case I propose as a name for the multilingual Mediawiki engine: MMediawiki ;)
But who knows? Maybe things are easier than I think?
thank you
