Vote for nihongo.wikipedia.com. Question: Can people who do not have Japanese Language Support on their computers see kanji, katakana, hiragana? i.e. is www.asahishinbun.com viewable on a regular PC, Mac??? I thought not.

I want to set up some alternative language wikipedias.
French and German would be good, and Cdani has offered to not inflict his terrible English on us if we make a Catalan wikipedia. :-) (I'm just teasing, but he has expressed an interest.)
I intend to setup the following domain names and wikis:
french.wikipedia.com francais.wikipedia.com (both pointing to the same thing)
german.wikipedia.com deustche.wikipedia.com (both pointing to the same thing)
spanish.wikipedia.com espanol.wikipedia.com (both pointing to the same thing)
Are those the right words to use?
I would also consider
nihongo.wikipedia.com japanese.wikipedia.com
One problem is going to be technical support of these languages, since if there are "fancy letter" problems, I will not know much how to deal with them. Japanese is pretty much _all_ "fancy letters", but I assume that Linux/Apache/Perl will just magically support it? Or will they be forced to use non-fancy ASCII urls?
Anyhow, it seems like a useful thing to do this.

That's right, Ruth. Unless you go through some special steps, you generally can't just see kanji, katakana, and hiragana. It just looks like modem noise. (Of course, even if you _are_ seeing it, it might look like modem noise to some!) :-)
