Re: [lojban] Re: A new Lojbanic wiki (LMW). On the threshold of the 25th anniversary of Lojban

It's not a question of if the default language is English or not. It's a question of whether we present a Lojban-only page to a newcomer. I think showing a Lojbanic interface and Lojban-only content to a newcomer is not friendly.

If the primary language is Lojban, are you, doi la gleki. .e la .iesk., fine with importing all the pages from TWiki to LMW? Lots of them are in English.

I'm holding off any work I said or hinted I'd be doing (working on the community portal and migrating) until I get a clear picture of what the site organization is going to be [1]:

* Who is the target audience?

* What content will it have, in what language?

As far as I understand, there are two interests at hand:

* Target audience: Lojban speakers

* Content: Anything in Lojban? / Translation projects, Lojbanic writings, Lojbanists index

* Target audience: Lojban learners

* Content: Learning materials in English and other languages around the world

If this is the case, I think it's not out of the question to maintain two separate wikis for each: lojban.org and ckule.lojban.org. In MediaWiki, there is a way to share the extensions folder and such to lessen the admininstrative task. If there are corresponding pages between the two, they can be linked to each other in the way Wikipedia links pages in other languages.

Any thoughts?

[1] This is partly an excuse to focus my time on helping CLL1.1; I'm not a good multitasker.
