Hoi, Like any extension, the Babel extension has its documentation on the Mediawiki.org website :) The extension is in use on Betawiki itself, yes we eat our own dogfood :) We are happy with its functionality, it is configurable..
As to comments or discussion, there is already a page on Meta.. there has also been a lot of discussion so far has been largely on IRC.
Thanks, GerardM

Hi Gerard,
thanks for asking for comments. Where can we find the proposal/explanation/code and where to put those comments? :)

Hoi. The Babel templates are widely used on the Wikimedia Foundation's wikis. Implementing them is a lot of work; you need more then 1000 templates
just
to cover the languages that the Wikimedia Foundation supports in its projects. Several Wikis have templates to support additional languages.
For
the bigger projects this is no longer an issue as the templates have
already
been created, but for many of the smaller projects getting the Babel information implemented is a lot of work. It would be great if the time could be saved to do something that is really useful like writing
articles.
At Betawiki we have been working hard to create a Babel extension. The
great
news of an extension is, that there is no need to do anything but
implement
the extension. We currently think that the software is at a state where
we
would like to invite the last comments leading to the implementation on
all
the WMF wikis.
Thanks, Gerard _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
