Summary: - 1 for no change. - 1 blank - 2 for Neil's proposal - 6 for redirect - 15 for multilingual portal
(3 people counted two times because they voted for two options)
Detailed results (I tried to include all I found on the mailinglists and metawikipedia, if someone is left out, please add yourself. I also added a summarized version of comments I found)
1) multilingual portal Kurt Jansson Krzysztof P. Jasiuto (kpjas) elian Magnus Manske Giskart Martin Aggel Thomas Diel Ray Saintonge (Eclecticology) Erik Zachte (especially no automatic redirect) Chuck Smith (especially no automatic redirect) Fam. Spaans (especially no automatic redirect) Toby Bartels (+other remarks, Neil's proposal) Daniel Mayer (mav) (portal should by wikipage, changes should be made after moving all wikipedias into one database)
2) redirect Tom Parmenter Guillaume Blanchard (Aoineko) Erik Moeller (Eloquence) Stephen Gilbert: redirection page should make the existence of other language projects more prominent, option to set default language in user prefs
3) other Will Smith (redirect or portal) Sven Burkhardt (redirect or portal) Anthere: blank, neither automatic redirect nor the proposed draft for the multilingual page (as I understood, please correct if I am wrong)
4) Neil's proposal: Neil, Toby Bartels 5) no change: Jeff Bronks
Possible proceedings: 1) Doing nothing and leave things as they are 2) put a redirection in place 3) put a portal in place 4) since the majority seems to favor the portal solution, further discussion could be directed towards developping a portal solution which is acceptable for its opponents, too. For doing this it would be necessary to know what the portal should include to be acceptable.. 5) Any other ideas???
greetings, elian
