Russian RW
Come to think of it, wouldn't it be best to ask "that one guy" first? :P
User talk:Trycatch. He said he would like to have a russian site.
I suppose everything has to start somewhere and two users is a start!
Okay, but lets think about shoring up some of the potential pitfalls early. How difficult (I haven't checked but I know wikimedia does it) is it to set up shared user names between the sites? Maybe we should set up a WIGO RW that lets us point and link to WIGO at our various projects (other language wikis, evowiki, some soon to be potentially announced). Other ideas? Offering the tools to keep the community integrated across projects is important I think.
Well shared database doesn't seem hard to implement. That is a good start at least.
The problem is that this is sort of a hack. E.g. I don't think the new user log is shared etc.
Well lets test out ru.rationalbeta.com
Course, since most of us don't speak Russian, we're taking your word that that's what it actually says on the talkpage... :p
I run it all through Google translator occasionally and it's fine.
It's halfway between mere curiosity and healthy paranoia...
