Hoi,
For wikipedia they changed
www.wikipedia.org to become a portal to show
that wikipedia is a project in many languages. This is to show that
wikipedia is not only English as many people think. The same is true for
the wiktionary; there are many wiktionaries and, in the same manner as
we have with wikipedia I propose to have
wiktionary.org point to the
page that can be found on META
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Www.wiktionary.org_portal
It took the wikipedia crowd two years to get to the point and change
things. I expect that people will have the same arguments why they think
wiktionary means en:wiktionary. However, wiktionary is much less known
than wikipedia and, the other wiktionaries like pl: with over 28.000+
and gl: with 11.000+ prove that en: with 52.000+ is not the only kid on
the block.There are also 9 others in between 1.000+ and 10.000- who
emphasize the point.
So I hope that we can agree to have a similar portal for wiktionary as
we have for wikipedia.
Thanks,
GerardM
