But there are some things that should be common, such as licensing and things that should not be, such as policies and things we are supposed to be involved in, such as red links (now, from what I understood, you are willing to remove a lot of things from the pedia. In particular for anonymous)

Licensing is actually not an issue here, since if we choose, say, to go with creative commons license. Then we wouldn't be able to translate articles from english because of the licensing problem so that's not really an option.
As for the rest, I want to push the hebrew wikipedia forward strongly (yes I also want it to look more attractive, shame on me), as it is growing very fast and we already got premission to mirror a complete computing jargon dictionary from an israeli site. (about 100 articles) and numerous requests are pending for other informative sites. We are also planning to get permissions from educational institutes to publish already written material suitable for the encyclopedia.
What I asked was either to get developer priviledge (or other developer would help) to remove a couple of duplicate links that are hard-coded into the site ("edit this page", "recent changes", duplicate interlanguage links etc. on top and bottom), make all links non-underlined by default (horrible!), and have the ability to fix bugs related to several browsers. And also we are having a contest for a logo (that may or may not be similiar to the English wikipedia logo) -- to understand how to replace the default one.
I really think autonomy is needed here in order to get things going. If you really expect me to wait for Brion Vibber to return from his time-out (and then nag him) then you are wrong. There is no-one except him with developer rights on the Hebrew wikipedia. This is beaurocracy in action, and I don't really like politics.
