Yes, that sounds good to me. We'll see how it can
work. I'll do the page on the fr.wiki tomorrow :-) How
are the phase III switching going on ?
I have a question, hum, two very hypothetical
questions maybe
- is it possible that the software propose different
special pages depending on the wiki? This being with
the potential idea that this page on homewikis could
be a special page, so helping access. If the page is
burried ina 3 levels hierarchy, wikipedians wont check
it. But though that page could interest us, it would
not interest en.wiki. So, how much of this might be
possible. I said might :-)
- is it possible to watch several wikis from the same
place ? I know there's the issue of confusion if it's
a common list, or the issue of the multiplication of
lists (could be solved by a drop-down (?) menu anyway.
The core question is just, is it possible ?

Pursuant to KQ's suggestions, I've started a
page on
the English wikipedia:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Embassy
This is indended to serve a few purposes:
* Summarize current cross-language issues (software
conversion,
interface localization, interlanguage linking, ...?)
* Link to the equivalent embassy page on the other
language wikis
(please make them!)
* Link to the Intlwiki-L list, reminding that it's
available
* List 'Wikipedia Ambassadors': polyglots who can
keep an eye on
discussions across the various wikis and lists they
frequent and act as
go-betweens and representatives when big decisions
are being made.
On this last, I'm assuming that in general there is
at least one person
on each language wiki who's already participating in
at least one
other-language wiki and can keep an eye on the local
embassy without too
much trouble. The embassy can thus serve as a
communications post for
people who need to deal with that specific wiki;
drop a message there
and somebody hopefully can decode and reply to it,
or else find the
specific ambassador you need and contact them
directly.
I look forward to expanding this system, and hope it
turns out useful!
