Language Profiles like on HTLAL

Postby IchBinEinPoly » Tue Jan 19, 2016 9:11 pm

Does this new site have language profiles like HTLAL did? Could we set something like that up? What if we did it in a wiki style fashion (although not necessarily via a wiki) so that the community could contribute as a whole? I was thinking a dedicated subforum with different threads for every language. The first post in the thread would be the actual profile of the language and in the thread people could suggest edits, new information, etc.

Yes, we're definitely interested in hosting this kind of content :) We also already have one wikia, though for now most language profiles are very short.

We are looking to put that sort of thing on the static site, just need volunteers to write the profiles for the languages.
