Let's get to work on language integration

As was suggested many times before, we should create a database to
manage data concerning the integration of different language. As far as
I can tell, these are
* Language links
* Translations of the software (generating new LanguageXX.php file "on
click")
* Central user management

I imagine a site (intl.wikipedia.org or something), several special
pages to manage the data sets above (with appropriate login, of course).

Also, it could serve as the international frontend, with intl Recent
Changes, cross-language search and other nice functions.

I discovered that though I have shh access to the server, I seem to be
lacking several rights (like creating a new database).

Someone (Brion! ;-) please create a site (like intl.wikipedia.org), and
a matching database (wiki_intl?), so I can hack a demo version.

Thanks,
Magnus

Wouldn't this, in fact, be the future www.wikipedia.org? But it makes
sense to set up a *temporary* test server for this purpose. I suggest a
more technical name like "i18n" to avoid confusion.

Fine by me. But, an international portal would only be a side effect of
this. Its main function is of technical nature.
