[Wikitech-l] European language wiki's to own server+database.

Hello, Proberly some of you will flame me, but I will take that for granted. My idea is to combine all the European language wikipedia's (except english and maybe spanish and portuguese) on one server and using one database, located somewhere in Europe. Here is why: * We will not be depending on the US anymore. - As this can be considered a political issue, it is mostly a technical issue. Because when there are problems, we (Europeans) can solve this on hours, people in the US are still at sleep. This also includes fixing things on location. - Also the performance will not be influenced by the English-language wikipedia. Problems: * Finding a reliable server that is free and only for us. * Finding European sysadmins for this server. Which wikipedias: # Basque (Euskara) # Bosnian (Bosanski) # Catalan (Català) # Czech (?eský) # Danish (Dansk) # Dutch (Nederlands) # Esperanto # Estonian (Eesti) # Finnish (Suomi) # French (Français) # Frisian (Frysk) # German (Deutsch) # Hungarian (Magyar) # Interlingua # Irish (Gaeilge) # Italian (Italiano) # Latin (Latina) # Latvian (Latviešu) # Lithuanian (Lietuviškai) # Low Saxon (Nedersächsisch) # Norwegian (Norsk) # Polish (Polska) (# Portuguese (Português) <<< Maybe not, because most speakers are living outside Europe) # Romanian (Român?) # Romanica # Russian (???????) # Serbocroatian (Srpskohrvatska) # Slovenian (Slovensko) (# Spanish (Castellano) <<< Maybe not, because most speakers are living outside Europe) # Swedish (Svenska) # Welsh (Cymraeg) Cheers, Jeroenvrp nl.wikipedia.org
