1) What's the proposed name of the central repository? I would suggest
something like data.wikimedia.org so we can potentially expand it in future for
other cross-project data sharing.

2) Would this be used for the non-article namespace? If so I assume we'd have
to make sure that the central repository has equivalents for all namespaces
that are commonly used (including things like Portal:).

3) Would this be used for InterProject links? Potentially any link list could
point to any Wikimedia project, and the script could filter it down to
something appropriate. For example, if the link lists includes all the
Wikipedia articles for "Dog", plus all the Wiktionary entries, on the English
Wikipedia it could pull the Wikipedia interlanguage links + English Wiktionary,
on the German Wikipedia it could pull the German Wikipedia interlanguage links
+ German Wiktionary, etc.

It seems wise to start with Wikipedia only, but I think it's worth thinking
about the other projects now. We almost certainly don't want an interlanguage
link wiki for each of the multilingual Wikimedia projects, IMO. Bug 708 is also
one of the most popular feature requests.

4) Finally, on the user experience side, in addition to formatting the links in
the content area (see
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/A_newer_look_at_the_interlanguage_link/Central_wiki_style_straw_poll
), I think we'll need to think about how you access the link list in the first
place. IMO an edit link in the sidebar that pops up an editing interface on the
local wiki would be preferable to sending people to an external site.
