[x] be a multilingual portal (1)
[x] other:This should be done only /after/ all
languages are on the same
database. IMO a static portal page is a very bad idea. We are a wiki and a
static page is very unwiki. The frontend should also reflect the backend.
Right now there are a bunch of separate Wikipedia wikis. At the /very/ least,
all the current active language wikis should be upgraded to Phase III - then
at least we will be interlinked with lanuguage links.
Now that it's been established that this is a survey, not a decision vote,
I'll join in and vote for the multilinguagl portal, among these choices.
But I've already said that Neil's mixture of the two changes is a good idea.
*And* I agree with mav that it's more important to integrate the back end.
OTOH, I disagree with mav's claim that an integrated front end is useless
until the back end is integrated -- it's just *less* useful IMO.
