A brief update - Mike drafted an FAQ which we're going to release very
soon, and hopefully we'll be able to put together the full proposal

Interesting material, definitely. But PD; I think not...
Europeana is only a portal and metadata search engine: content is

The problem, of course, is that every new link or word of text on that
page lowers its utility. That help! page should be as sparse as

So, does an all-Wikipedias rules list exist, or if not, what are there
global rules which all the Wikipedias must follow?
Yes: e.g. http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Licensing_policy
