I just wanted to say a word about that... We may make "fake
Wikipedias" or so. Let's say that
http://wikicompendium.org/wiki/encyclopedia:xyz:Main_Page is the main
page of Wikipedia in language with the code xyz. Then
http://xyz.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page should be a virtual redirect
to http://wikicompendium.org/wiki/encyclopedia:xyx:Main_Page (I think
that I would be able to make a couple of mod_rewrite commands to make
that). So, speakers of small languages would have their Wikipedia
(Wiktionary, Wikibooks), and we will have one project managed from one
place.
