the link is up at

i'm against "outsourcing" one language and not another... but on the other 
hand, you cannot assume that there exist wikis for every language... and 
also they may also have other wiki engines running and so on. the state 
now - one wiki installation containing more languages, crosslinked in 
language/article - keeps the infos together while extending itself 
towards other languages (everybody can with a little knowledge of 
mediawiki translate every page to another language and add a i18n box to 
the page - voilà: you have the contents and another language). of course, 
we will need to keep in synch translations. if you find a page extended 
in a language and a sister-page is missing this text that is newer, feel 
free to copy the new text from the one language it exists to the one it 
does not exist and if you cannoot/willnot/have-not-time-to translate it 
right now, simply add the {{translateme}} tag to it and other people will 
synch it.

the wiki on archlinuxfr is helpful for colaboration: it would be really 
great that if you have some articles that are missing in the archwiki, 
that you copy them to it. if you like, we can also think about a 
crosslinking of this articles then. the way wikis are crosslinked 
usually. have a look at the 
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox_Tips_and_Tweaks
at the bottom the reference to wikipedia for an example.
what do you think?
if you like the idea, please provide me a url to a small logo of the 
archlinuxfr wiki so that i can create such a box. then we can use the 
same syntax to crosslink pages beween french articles in archwiki and the 
analogous pages in archlinuxfrwiki. 

thanx for the idea and initiative, 

greetings,
damir
