[Foundation-l] New: Alemannic Wikipedia

Wed Oct 6 10:41:37 UTC 2004

The former Alsatian Wikipedia [als] had to broaden it’s audience to all  
speakers of the Alemannic language:
http://als.wikipedia.org

I would like one of the stewards/devs/whoever to change the site’s  
language name (displayed as interlanguage link titles) from  
“Els&auml;ssisch” (Elsässisch/Alsatian) to “Alemannisch”:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/languages/ 
Names.php?rev=1.1.2.2&view=markup
     'als' => 'Alemannisch', # Alemannic

I’m suggesting to change the language tag in the xhtml source code from  
“gem-alsatian” to “gem-CH” which is currently the most precise valid  
tag for Alemannic, even if it does not include variants outside  
Switzerland. However, anything like “gem-alemannic” is neither a valid  
generic code nor registered by the iana nor common practice on the net.

Thirdly: Could someone *please* switch our logo?

Thank you!
