Stevertigo: Recently someone Menchi (?) discussed with Brion about making separate wikis for Simple Chinese and Traditional Chinese...
No, I did not suggest to Brion or anyone the separation of Simplified and Traditional Chinese versions. I don't know who said it. As far as I know, all active and regular contributors there are fine with the co-existence of the two versions.
What we /have/ been saying is to implement an automatic Traditional<->Simplified conversion, since the phrasing is completely identical (the wording occasionally isn't. Occasionally.)
Anyway, shouldn't this be at Intlwiki-L.?

Ah so. Sorry for my error. Yes, its true that your discussion of implementing something specific on a specific wikipedia belongs on intlwiki-l. However, the notion of a new Ideographic wikipedia that doesnt yet exist except in mine owne imagination-- does indeed belong on this list.
