Jimbo, there is people that has suggested that, if enciclopedia libre wants to belong to the wikipedia community again, a possibilty is to point es.wikipedia.org to their site. You said "I don't think that's acceptable". I just want to make sure I understand the real meaning of it. Is it, "in my opinion is not acceptable, but if the rest of the comunity, including the developers that will handle the techical aspect of it agree, so will I", or "I, as the owner of the name es.wikipedia.org do not agree"?
The answer is important, because that will tell the EL people if they are dealing with the wikipedia community, or with Jimbo Wales, owner of wikipedia.
As for the NPOV, even it is not put so prominently in their pages, their goal seems to me the same us ours, create a neutral enciclopedia, not a collection of opinions. Probably the only think i consider not very NPOV are some of their references to wikipedia. If they flagrantly violate the NPOV, as you think could happen, the enforcement would be simply point es.wikipedia.org back to the wikipedia server, copy the contents, do a "fork back" and clean it up. I do not see the presence on the wikipedia server as necessary for the NPOV enforcement, then.
All that said, I do think being in a common server would be preferable, but a member of their community (their current webmaster, juanan, for example) should have developer access to the wikipedia server, to be able to do maintenance of the software and database, and create their own sysops. That should be true for all wikipedias that have a size large enough and have a developer-type person among them.
