Hi,
These days I had a little time to clear my TODO list after Wikimania
and I tried to find some information about the "central interwiki
repository" idea.
What I want to know is:
1. Is there support from the community for some extended tests on this
subject on the Wikimedia websites?
I opened the bug in which i ask to enable Nikola's extension on
Wikipedia two years ago. For what it's worth, most of the comments
there approve of the idea and there's no strong opposition:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15607

2. Are there plans to extend the current extensions in
order to
support something like [1], which would be much more interesting, but
also much more challenging?
It is possible to develop something more interesting and challenging,
but it seems that Nikola's solution will work *now* to solve some of
the problems of interwiki maintenance that have annoyed many people
for more than five years.
In any case, when something more interesting is developed, it will be
easier to migrate there from Nikola's solution than from the current
state of affairs.
