Jimbo, is there any chance we can move the Esperanto wikipedia over to the PHP script soon? I've been promising people we'd be upgrading to the new software (which will fix a number of annoying bugs in the old) for a while, and the natives are getting restless. :)
I'm going to check in a couple more character set and case-conversion fixes tonight, after which we should be ready anytime. At this point any additional problems are only going to be discovered by having real users bang at the real site with real non-English non-ISO-8859-1 text...
There are a few switches at the top of convertWiki2SQL.php for selecting language-specific processing options, and wikiLocalSettings.php needs to select the proper $wikiLanguage and $wikiSQLServer, but that's about it. Other than those two, the PHP source files can be shared 100% between various language wikipedias. (I've already included the Esperanto message-localization file in the CVS repository, and I assume others will be added as they are converted & translated.)
