[Wikipedia-l] wikipedia portal: options

[Ilya Haykinson]

There seem to be a great number of alternate proposals about what to
do with www.wikipedia.org.

1. redirect based on user's language setting
2. show a list of languages by itself
3. show a list, show little flags of countries whenever possible
4. show a list, with header of "Wikipedia in your language: <langname>"
5. show a list, highlighting based on user's language setting.

I strongly urge that the last option be implemented. A simple list of
languages, with ones that match the user's browser language setting
highlighted in bold wherever they are in the list. It is
straight-foward to implement, least contentuous, and prominently shows
the wide variety of Wikipedia languages available.
