Hello,

Based on what I've said above, I personally
believe the suggestions from Andre
and Mark are both good with a bias towards Andre's suggestion. Leaving two
wikis for editing in the same language I think is counter-productive and will
only serve to confuse new users. I think the situation is served best by moving
the current contents to nb: (while having a server-wide redirect from no: to
keep search-engine links etc active), and to implement a trans-Scandinavian
search feature as suggested by Olve Utne on this mailing-list once this is
technologically possible.
Finally, I also suggest that, if these changes are made, the language names
showing up in interwiki-links are changed from
Nynorsk ([nn:]) --> Norsk (Nynorsk)
Norsk ([no:]) --> Norsk (Bokmål) ([nb:])
I'm not familiar with the language situation but how you described it
this seems the most reasonable solution.
However, such a move shouldn't be done without the approval of the
communities of these wikis. To arrive at a decision it therefore seems
best to me to hold a poll on both existing wikis if the communities
support this split.
