Description:
Could there be implemented some user-based, personalized display of texts?
this is not about the wiki content itself, it is about other texts in the wiki,
e.g. warning messages, options,...
The reason for the proposal is, that otherwise this makes too much work, when
being done manually
(e.g. there are already internalization features available, see
http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Category:Interlingual_Beta_Club )
possible usage:
good for different clients/ages:
children, teenager, adults, older people (yes, older people are also adults, but
each group has different wishes, needs),...
and each group gets a text, which would be appropriate for them
(of course there needs to be decided, how this text should be and so, e.g. with
surveys, but this is not to be discussed here now).
when people are new to wiki, there should be e.g. appropriate use of salutation
and also in the texts (e.g. warning messages,...).
As it seems in the discussion, some people would like a formal text, but some
would like a more personal text
e.g. a formal and informal salutation
people could decide at the registering/beginning, how they would like to see
texts (formal or informal) or they could be offered to delay this to another
time (e.g. changing in the options).
later: who wishes can also do personalized texts for children and so:
reason: people access the texts of wikis easy, when they use search engines.
why not help children to understand/read texts appropriate for them, which they
can understand?
In Germany there is a news show, which is also offered for children.
Content for children can also be understood by adults :-)
