Licensing is actually not an issue here, since if we choose, say, to go
with creative commons license. Then we wouldn't be able to translate
articles from english because of the licensing problem so that's not
really an option.
As for the rest, I want to push the hebrew wikipedia forward strongly
(yes I also want it to look more attractive, shame on me), as it is
growing very fast and we already got premission to mirror a complete
computing jargon dictionary from an israeli site. (about 100 articles)
and numerous requests are pending for other informative sites. We are
also planning to get permissions from educational institutes to publish
already written material suitable for the encyclopedia.
What I asked was either to get developer priviledge (or other developer
would help) to remove a couple of duplicate links that are hard-coded
into the site ("edit this page", "recent changes", duplicate
interlanguage links etc. on top and bottom), make all links
non-underlined by default (horrible!), and have the ability to fix bugs
related to several browsers. And also we are having a contest for a logo
(that may or may not be similiar to the English wikipedia logo) -- to
understand how to replace the default one.
I really think autonomy is needed here in order to get things going. If
you really expect me to wait for Brion Vibber to return from his
time-out (and then nag him) then you are wrong. There is no-one except
him with developer rights on the Hebrew wikipedia. This is beaurocracy
in action, and I don't really like politics.
