I think we should change the language names to their
names in their own language.  This might help.

I propose the page that has a paragraph in English and
then the list of languages in a table.

I don't really understand what you mean here.  Could
you clarify?

Just the intro text in English and then links to each
language underneath.  I saw this in one of the
proposals.

No, no, no.  For one thing, that will have almost no
effect for Esperanto speakers.  I don't even know how
to change my own browser to eo, even if I wanted to,
and anyway I'd rather keep it in English even though
I'm more involved with the Esperanto project.  The
least that auto-detect could do is highlight my
language on the main page.

I'm sorry I can't give a more detailed description,
but this weekend is composed of day long committee
meetings, so I really don't have time... but there's
always a little time for Wikipedia.  :)  (Hey, new
slogan anyone?)  ;-)

Thanks,
Chuck
