Hello,
Last year there where a lot of discussions about projects inside wikimedia that needed to be renamed. The last thing I can remember is that it wasn't possible at that time. However I would like to know if something changed since the last discussion?
There are like 5 or 6 projects under discussion that /could/ be renamed, so the question remains: Is it possible?
Anything's possible, the question is whether it's worth doing, considering the complexity of the task and the size of the shell requests backlog.
I don't think it's worth doing if someone with root access has to do everything manually. But if some interested developer wrote a script to do the bulk of the tasks, and documented the procedure for the rest of the tasks, then I think these requests could be processed.
