Hoi,
Elly wrote a fine message about the increasing problems with interwiki
links. Several people have answered on this threat indicating problems.
I think I have an answer to the issues raised and I wrote them here
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/A_new_look_at_the_interwiki_link
I believe that we can dispense with running the many client side bots
for the interwikis and have a more economical server side bot in stead.
I welcome all comments and I hope that there will be no arguments that
prevent an implementation of this scheme.
Thanks,
GerardM
