The issue:
http://wikisource.org is supposed to be a portal, a portal with links to
the different versions of the project. just like all the other projects,
the main domain a portal..the sub-domains contains the different
versions..except for the multilingual projects (commons + meta) which
don't have any sub-domains and have their main pages in English as
default and main pages in many other languages. so
commons.wikimedia.org
or
meta.wikimedia.org are considered to be the 'portals' or better..they
don't have portals (all content on one wiki) or there are no
metawiki.org or
commonswiki.org so they don't have a portal and that is
of course made intentionally (they don't need that ball surrounded by
languages)..
When we look at Wikisource, we find it somehow disorganized..first..the
new languages are created inside
wikisource.org wiki (which as I know
was once an oldwikisource) until they accumulate some unknown number of
pages then they move to their own sub-domain.. isn't that the exact
purpose of the incubator? develop the language to some extent to test
its potential?
Other ideas say that Wikisource project is special somehow that some of
the languages will never be big enough (text collections, contributors
etc...) to deserve its own domain or there will never be enough
community for it..and because of that they are better placed in one
place (I don't really see the objection of making new sub-domains or
wikis, does it cost?) ..so, following the conventions, as Wikisource
does contain sub-domains, the address
http://wikisource.org should be
made only a portal..not a Wiki! and the Multilingual collections (that
didn't get a sub-domain and probably will never in the near future) be
placed on a sub-domain of
wikisource.org, perhaps
multi.wikisource.org..not the current mix..having both the portal and
the multilingual wiki on the same place.. that is a solution..other
solution would be to move all the content on the wiki that shouldn't
exist on
wikisource.org to the incubator and remove that wiki and just
add the portal like the other projects..but I seriously doubt if the
languages will get out of the incubator...in any solution, these
languages and cultures should be featured, the ignorance of myself to
certain language doesn't make it less or bad..
Now I feel that I wrote much to describe ;)
