+Depend on how the setup is done. I am pretty sure that we will still
+have apache configuration job to do none the less. And I think adding a
+language is a pretty rare moment so we can tolerate to do it. I am also
+thinking into tying dns, apache and all with a list of language
+declaration, provided enough work is done.
+
+
+
+And the downside is that you will have one and only one server for wiki,
+no way to split among many server ( as noted by Benoit Audouard ).
+
+Now, what I would want to see is :
+1) who decide the language that goes ( because someone has to decide, I
+do not think that media is so flexible that anybody can start here own
+language, and if there
+
+2)  How many database do we need ( ie, creation of 1 big db, or several
+smaller one ).
+
+3) is this : 1 big wiki instance, or several smaller one ?
+
+Do we ever plan to have wiki not linked to language content ? ( like per
+team wiki, or that will be section on the english one ? )
+
+I guess I can also take for granted that we will not manage 1 set of
+extension per language ?
