While we are talking about policy development, may I make a suggestion abut language codes on the Wikied URLs? English is en, no code or www. French is fr, Russian is ru, German is de, Spanish is es, Portuguese is pt, and so on. I have been developing some Romanian teaching resources, and using ro as the code, but there I also found many English documents, Roma and Romani, both the language of an ethic group in India and the people often called Gypsies in Europe. Going to Wikipedia I found that they should be rmy, and Romanian, as I had put it, ro. Similarly Bulgarian is bg not bu, but many African documents are there. We might argue that this higildipigeldy "system" is OK because there is lots of room on the site. We thought that, too on CE (Community Empowerment) and did not pay too much attention to language codes, until we grew to over thirty, and then trouble began appearing. I wish now that we could start again with the Wiki codes. (but then we only had three directories).
I am suggesting that we use the wiki language codes on WikiEducator, and stick with them, so as be consistent both internally and with the other wikis. This wil prevent many problems in the future.
