[Foundation-l] Future fate of Siberian Wikipedia

[Milos Rancic]

Here is my comment from there. (With "--~~~~" ;) )

* While I think that is a good idea to see some languages in different
scripts (it is particularly useful for Slavic languages because I am
sure that one young Czech will be more able to read Bulgarian in Latin
and vice versa), projects like this are typical wasting of resources:
it is possible to make transcription/transliteration engines for all
languages. Personally, I would like to see French Wikipedia written in
IPA and so on. All in all, this particular idea is not good, while it
opened some interesting general possibilities. --~~~~
