:Proposed by some trolls. Can we focus on real issues like how to subdivide the [[wikis]] so that people ([[consumer]]s,�[[developer]]s, [[researcher]]s...etc) get adequate access to the information without being engulfed into global Consumerium. That is we need local [[Wikis]] in local [[languages]] but how are things to be [[designer|designed]] so that it works smoothly (read: people can access services in a language natural to them and access only locally relevant information, not some comparison of some [[supermarket]]s on the other side of the globe)? --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 18:28, 13 Mar 2004 (EET)

::So make [[en:w:]] and [[fr:w:]] work, and disable the reverse, and we'll try to solve language problems;  until then, you are asking us to solve Wikipedia problems, and we refuse
::[[en:gfdl:]] and [[en:neutral:]] would be even better.  Then the best GFDL source, or best neutral source, could be determined dynamically by the service, without requiring every author to care, or track the decline of [[Wikipedia]] or the rise of [[Wikinfo]] or [[Metaweb]] or whatever.  Really the best GFDL source this week is [[Recyclopedia]] since it has a very recent [[Wikipedia]] dump, and more accurate articles that have no censorship of concepts critical to [[Consumerium]].
