I think the idea makes sense, but that there should really be a standard
(small) set of text(s) which have
to be available in a given language before that language was linked.

A few of those start pages are just links to the local monger groups
(pointing to the www.pm.org site would mean they are maintained better?),
which someone will little English should be able to find (once there is more
cleanup of the www site).

As a suggestion the text(s) should be:

- 1 paragraph as an introduction to Perl.
- 1 paragraph about the community, with a link to www.pm.org (
http://www.pm.org/groups/map.html is my fav page) and copy explaining how
good the community is and you should probably try start there.

This way we push people at their local community, and we then get those
communities to maintain links in the relevant languages?

Just my 2 cents.
