Who wants to use this page?
This page was started in 2008 and was updated once in 2009. What was the original intention for the use of the page? Who would be interested in using it now, and for what purpose? I can think of some potential uses, such as:
- An illustration of the range of language families covered, mainly for visitors to the site.
- A tool for publicity and volunteer recruitment. For volunteer recruitment however, it would really need a companion page of supported languages which don't have translators, and information on which languages are inactive.
- providing an easy way for translators to find languages related to their own which also have translators.
These are all things which could be better presented with the language map than by the list of supported projects (listed in alphabetical order of the language code).
Any comments?
About the last point: I've been thinking of making this page sortable by several criteria. If we were to use the usual CSS/JS based mechanism, that would mean to convert is to another kind of HTML representation. Imho not too much labour but maintainance was slightly lesss straightforward, then,
I have added a link to this page from the Translating:Statistics page.
