Hmm, that could indeed work. Of course, 5 minutes after it's enabled, someone will file a bug report saying that it doesn't work, because when they go to gsw.toolserver.org, all (99.9%) of the content is still in English. :) But I guess that's not really a serious obstacle, just a minor but inevitable side effect. -- Ilmari Karonen _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list ([email protected]) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
