:This may not be super-feasible. Wikipedia does it by providing a nearly-completely separate wiki for each language. We could do it here by providing a namespace for each language, but that is likely to clutter up searches, categories and page lists with non-English results, which is probably not a desired outcome. Will likely need to discuss further. —[[User:generalantilles|GeneralAntilles]] 06:19, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

:Personally, I'm very much against cluttering up the wiki with non-English content. Running a separate mediawiki instance for each language may be the better option (from a wiki-user perspective, anyway), but running a dozen or other instances that are guaranteed to end up as spam repositories isn't something that we need. So, in order to have a language instance added, we need to see a minimum commitment (say, 5 dedicated people that are willing to manage the wiki, patrol for spam, etc). —[[User:generalantilles|GeneralAntilles]] 06:50, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Embed category lists?

Is it possible to embed category lists in a page? I would like to have the proposed tasks automagically listed at https://wiki.maemo.org/100Days/Sprint2#Proposals instead of having to keep manually the list.--qgil 12:36, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, according to this, we definitely need a plugin. Either CategoryTree, which seems to do want we want here, the other option is DynamicPageList, which is more complicated, but is capable of doing a lot more stuff. They seem to be compatible with each other, so installing both seems like a good plan. Anyway, I've filed bugs #3341 and #3342. —GeneralAntilles 12:53, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Other Language Section

Is it possible to create the Russian-language and other language section of wiki ? We would like to move here wiki.internet-tablet.com materials and translations. --dik 23:58, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

This may not be super-feasible. Wikipedia does it by providing a nearly-completely separate wiki for each language.

As GeneralAntilles says, though, it needs commitment from others. There are probably no more than a dozen people regularly tending this wiki and a wiki is like a garden: it needs to be regularly pruned, watered etc. to prevent rotting and weeds.
