No idea why this was sent to foundation-l since I already answered directly... Wikis have not been renamed yet since we have no infrastructure for doing it. The requests are in the system and will be reached when we have an opportunity to set up a renaming infrastructure -- none of the renames are high priority, and there are plenty of things most members of this list would rather see us do first. :) -- brion ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 08 Apr 2009 23:13:52 +0200 From: Marcus Buck <m...@marcusbuck.org> Subject: Re: [Foundation-l] mo.wikipedia is not yet renamed to mo-cyrill as it was promised !

As the developments on 'things most members of this list would like to see' are rather slow, I'd say, you should urgently hire some more people, who help you do the tasks that need to be done, or alternatively make access to administrative tools easier, so that voluntary helpers can help you do the tasks that need to be done.

Wikipedia have to response to this regulation. Any site which has more than 100,000 visitors for a day have to implement real name system according to the regulation. We have to check the number of visitors from South Korea. If we have more than that, we have to decide if we will allow editing or not from South Korea.
