Scary stuff. Makes a truly multilingual resource seem
nihg on impossible!!! Oh in the technical side, Rob
and I were thinking the only way it can work is if
when you search you specify the language(s) you wish
to search in. That way you don't get articles in
languages you don't understand. And if we can find
willing people, we'll have to get translations done
too. I'm hoping a subtle blend of my UK English and
your US English won't cause too many troubles ;-)

I was thinking of that myself. Not javascript run
obviously, maybe just a target=new in the link tag.
Mind you, some purists even hate that. But stuff them
I suppose :-)
