Yes Bill, but... the whole issue is that it has to be quickly available for all projects ... ie, about 300 right now (okay, we could reduce this to perhaps 80 active ones perhaps). If we have to create 80 pages for each language on each project, better just give up now. One person can't do it alone. He cant create 80 pages and cant create 80 translations alone in a couple of hours.
The other point of my proposal is precisely to make it possible that information is available to all, without being necessarily displayed very visibly.
Unfortunately yes, it requires development, so if no one is interested by doing it, it wont be done at all.
Still, this is what machines, bots can do for us, replace humans for works which take too much time.

Is this technically possible ? Is this suitable ? What do you think ? Do you have other ideas ?
How about a link on this (and any future) such announcements that says something like "What's this announcement all about?" It could point to a page explaining everything you just did about the banner (that it's temporary, because of a Slashdot interview with Jim, ads on pages -- even self-promotion ads -- isn't something Wikipedia normally does, etc.)
