What's with the various languages here?  An "international" feel is entirely appropriate.  And the articles about non-English wikis would ideally be in both English and the native language.  But why are some misc articles also in French?  No harm done, but if every article were in a dozen different languages things would get rather confusing...  I've seen no discussion here about the theory or ideal goals.  At the moment, we are mainly protected by the level of contribution being so low that we are struggling to function in one language -- no need to worry about multi-lingual chaos.--[[User:69.87.202.225|69.87.202.225]] 11:00, 17 February 2007 (PST)

''I agree that articles about non-English wikis should ideally be in both the native language, and also in English (to pander to those who can't be bothered to learn a dozen languages). I don't mind misc articles in 2 different languages. Misc articles in a dozen different languages would be confusing. I suppose we could (a) turn on the MediaWiki multi-language stuff, giving us the "English-language section of the wikiindex", the "French-language section of the wikiindex", etc.; or (b) fork the wiki. No need to decide until it actually starts to get confusing, though. --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 01:24, 24 February 2007 (PST)''
