When I first voted in Georgia (U. S. State) we
marked out the ones we
*didn't* want. Very satisfying.
I am sure it was. Among the 80% who voted Chirac a few
months ago, a lot would have found a lot of
satisfaction in marking out the one they *didnot*
want. That's a very nice idea.
I absolutely don't want automatic redirection based on
the langage on a browser. I think it very intrusive.
I have been looking a bit around on the "Troph�e du
Libre" these past two days in case we decide to run
for it.
To register, we must provide an url for the project we
are working on. It seems very natural (obvious) that
the url should be
www.wikipedia.org, don't you think ?
Then, when the jury will look at the project, since
they will be probably french, and very likely on a
french computer, with french brower set up, if they
type
www.wikipedia.org, they could be automatically
redirected to the french wikipedia.
Honestly, do you think a better view of the project
will be given on the fr.wiki or on the en.wiki ???
So, what should we do then ? provide en
en.wikipedia.org adress instead for a better
assessment of what wikipedia is ?
That, for sur, would be a big blow to the
internationals wikis.
So, in case redirection is chosen, which url would you
prefer we give ? Let's think a bit about promotion
also in this decision.

We aren't voting. We're canvassing.
This is the easiest cabal in the world to get into,
just write some
articles, act reasonably, don't be *too* self
centered and sarcastic,
join the mailing list, and presto-chango, another
member of the
cabal.
So ?
I probably didnot get what you meant/implied
here....sorry
peace
