hi guys, Just to touch base and restart the conversation about language support in the wiki. w.r.t the namespace / urlspace issue - did we finalise / decide on using wiki.centos.org/<lang>/<namespace> ? or is that issue still open to discussion ? Also, are pages in English going to remain as wiki.centos.org/<namespace>/ ? Also, iirc - someone was going to have a go at writing some Moin code that did some auto-checking and recommended alternate languages when a local translation didnt exist ( eg. going to wiki.centos.org/es/Foo recommended looking at wiki.centos.org/Foo or wiki.centos.org/de/Foo when there was no spanish translation but the English page and the German page existed ) - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq

I am personally in favor of moving English pages to wiki.centos.org/en/. In this manner the top-level namespace doesn't clutter, and it should be doable, given that Moin stores Wiki pages as files. -- Daniel
