Anyone interested in joining the project? :)
Here is the initial content of the page
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hello%2C_world!_project
'''[[w:en:Hello world program|Hello, world!]]''' is usually one of
the
simplest possible programs in some programming language. However, it
becomes very complex if you want to put it on every [[Wikimedia]]
project in every language.
The goal of this project is not to show one more trivia implemented in
multilingual wiki environment, but to make roots for building
multilingual bots on (Media)Wiki based projects. It should be, also, an
educational material for future bot programmers.
The project is in the early state of development, and all constructive
inputs are welcome.
== "Simple" things to do ==
* Be sure that you know what are you doing. If you make a mess on some
project, you will be blocked there. If you make a mess on all projects,
you will be blocked everywhere.
* Make a page
<nowiki>[[</nowiki>User:Your'''Bot'''Name/Hello,
world!]]
with sentence "Hello, world!" on all Wikimedian projects.
** ''Simple'' note: You will need to open accounts for you and your bot
on all Wikimedian projects (if you didn't do yet) and verify your email
addresses. You will, also, need to wait four days for "maturity" of your
accounts.
** It is, also, a matter of good manners to introduce yourself and your
bot to the people of particular projects.
*** If you don't know particular language, it is good enough to write it
in English.
*** If you don't want to do copy-paste your text 1000+ times, make it
with your bot.
*** Tell something about you at your user page (including languages
which you are speaking by using Babel templates)
**** There are no some Babel templates on some projects? Copy it from
[[:en:|English Wikipedia]]. Of course, use bot for that if you are not a
masochist ;)
*** Tell something like "This is <YourUserName>'s test bot and it will
operating only inside of its and my user space" at your bot's user page.
*** Put interwiki links on all of your and your bot's user pages.
** Try to find some clever way how to translate "Hello, world!" in a
number of languages. [
http://translate.google.com/ Google Translator] is
one of useful method for doing so. However, it has only a couple of
languages and Wikimedia has only a couple of hundreds of languages. If
you find some good method for doing so, please [[Talk:Hello, world!
project|let us know]].
*** Of course, maybe it is possible to find translations of this
sentence on the Internet?
*** You may ask native speakers to translate the sentence.
*** And, don't be disappointed if you don't have a translation. If you
tried all possible and impossible methods, make a page in English, your
language or some regional lingua franca.
** [[Talk:Hello, world! project|Let us know]] on how many projects in
how many languages you wrote "Hello, world!".
* Make a bot for checking updates of your "Hello, world!" pages and its
talk pages. Start it every day (or put it in the crontab of
'''your'''
computer). Program should make output on some subpage of your bot's page
here, on Meta. Other option is to put feeds for all of the pages in your
favorite feed reader.
* [[Hello, world! project/code|Show the code]].
