Thread:Support/breaking up MediaWiki to smaller projects

Maybe i'm not the first one who brings this up, but i couldn't find in the FAQ.

Yesterday i drove 170 km to Kfar-Kama in Northern Israel to teach a speaker of Circassian (kbd) to create articles in the incubator in his language and to translate messages in TWN. I showed him the list of projects and said that one of the most important things that will improve the Wikipedia in his language is to translate all the messages under the MediaWiki group. That's 2,496 messages - and this number appeared quite intimidating to him.

Is it technically possible to split MediaWiki into several groups? This will make translating less intimidating to new translators and help them focus.
